There are different ways to modify the display settings in Matplotlib, but one common way is to use the rcParams dictionary. This dictionary stores the default settings for Matplotlib and you can modify its values to adjust the display settings.
For example, to modify the font size of the x-axis and y-axis labels, you can use:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams['axes.labelsize'] = 14
plt.rcParams['xtick.labelsize'] = 12
plt.rcParams['ytick.labelsize'] = 12
This code sets the axes.labelsize value to 14, and xtick.labelsize and ytick.labelsize values to 12. Other settings you can modify include the figure size, line width, color maps, and more.
Once you modify the rcParams dictionary, the changes will apply to all subsequent plots in your script. Alternatively, you can use the rc function to modify the settings for a specific plot, or the style function to apply a specific style to your plots.
