Scoped Overrides with rc_context

rc_context() mirrors matplotlib.rc_context() — apply config changes only inside a with block, then auto-restore the prior values on exit.

import memeplotlib as memes

Scoping a custom palette

Inside the block, any meme call uses the temporarily-overridden config.

memes.config["color"] = "white"  # global default

with memes.rc_context({"color": "yellow", "font": "comic"}):
    memes.meme("buzz", "yellow comic", "(scoped)")

# Outside the block, the original "white" default is restored.
assert memes.config["color"] == "white"

Setting individual keys

config itself is a MemeplotlibConfig mapping — treat it like matplotlib.rcParams.

memes.config["fontsize"] = 96
memes.config["style"] = "lower"
memes.meme("buzz", "Lowercase Memes", "Everywhere")

# Reset back to the shipped defaults at the end of the example.
memes.config.reset()
