=======================

You can create custom styles and use them by calling ``style.use`` with the
path or URL to the style sheet. Alternatively, if you add your
``<style-name>.mplstyle`` file to ``~/.matplotlib/stylelib`` (you may need to
create this directory), you can reuse your custom style sheet with a call to
``style.use(<style-name>)``. Note that a custom style sheet in
``~/.matplotlib/stylelib`` will override a style sheet defined by matplotlib if
the styles have the same name.

On my system (OSX), this is actually ~/.matplotlib. There's probably no general way to explicitly write the path for all system. Maybe just writing <mpl_configdir>/stylelib and telling users how to find <mpl_configdir> would be sufficient.

@tacaswell @tonysyu
I had checked that on Linux at home.

Now, at work and at a windows7 box I get /.matplotlib so @tonysyu is right. It seems the only way is to use matplotlib.get_configdir().

Thanks.

but you can check where yours is with ``matplotlib.get_configdir()``, you may need to
create this directory. Note that a custom style sheet in ``mpl_configdir/stylelib``
will override a style sheet defined by matplotlib if the styles have the same name.

For example, you might want to create
``~/.matplotlib/stylelib/presentation.mplstyle`` with the following::
``mpl_configdir/stylelib/presentation.mplstyle`` with the following::

axes.titlesize : 24
axes.labelsize : 20
