How to change matplotlib patches Font Size without using mpl.rc() [duplicate]

Question

I'm using matplotlib to generate some graphs, I wanted to have a bigger font for the axis scale so I used :

font = {'size' : 22} matplotlib.rc('font', **font)

This affected my Legends size as in the figure:

Is there anyway to control the size of mpatches.Patch() text ?

Answer 1

mpatches.Patch() has no fontsize, since it has no text associated with it.

• To control the label's fontsize you can use rcParams, like

  plt.rcParams["axes.labelsize"] = 22
  

  or directly control the size of the label

  ax.set_xlabel("some label", fontsize=22)
  

• To control the legend's fontsize you can use rcParams

  plt.rcParams["legend.fontsize"] = 22
  

  or directly specify the size in the legend

  ax.legend(fontsize=22)
