Increasing the fontsize of the direction labels around the wind rose
Hello! I would like to increase the font size of the direction labels (N, N-E, ...) that are around the wind rose. How could I do so? I am using (ax=WindroseAxes.from_ax())
Hi nalfahel!
It seems developers are not answering yet. Here you have a solution which I recommend you to use whenever you plot something with matplotlib:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15,20)) SMALL_SIZE = 10 MEDIUM_SIZE = 12 BIGGER_SIZE = 15 plt.rc('font', size=MEDIUM_SIZE) # controls default text sizes plt.rc('axes', titlesize=SMALL_SIZE) # fontsize of the axes title plt.rc('axes', labelsize=SMALL_SIZE) # fontsize of the x and y labels plt.rc('xtick', labelsize=SMALL_SIZE) # fontsize of the tick labels plt.rc('ytick', labelsize=SMALL_SIZE) # fontsize of the tick labels plt.rc('legend', fontsize=SMALL_SIZE) # legend fontsize plt.rc('figure', titlesize=BIGGER_SIZE) # fontsize of the figure title
By adding this piece of code you'll have full control over size matters.
Regards.
Hello!
No ... I have not heard from them. Because I was in a rush to publish a paper back in March, I could not wait for an answer and cheated a little bit... By overprinting ... I created patches and positioned them on top of the self generated labels. If your figure size is the same as mine, I could happily share my code with you!
Let me know, Regards,
Nicolas.

I figured it out, the second that I actually posted the comment. That's how it goes, you finally ask for help and then don't need it. I actually had another question though, how to change the figure size. The function has a default size of (8,8) and tried to change it because I have a two line title that is being cut-off at the top.

Could you post your code then? :) About your other question... How do you define your plot? It would be cool if you could send me your code so I see how you try to fix your problem!

Hello,
Just for completness: windrose uses regular matplotlib function and a windrose axe inherit from a PolarAxe. So every matplotlib function applies to windrose. You can then customize the tick labels as follows:
import windrose as wr
ax = wr.WindrosesAxe.from_ax()
ax.set_xticklabels(["My", "Wonderful", "List", "Of", "Custom", "Labels", "With", "Fontsize"], fontsize=14, fontweight="bold", color="red")
Or you can also keep the default label but change the formatting later on:
import windrose as wr
ax = wr.WindroseAxes.from_ax()
for t in ax.get_xticklabels():
plt.setp(t, fontsize=14, color="red", fontweight="bold")
## or in one line:
# ax.set_xticklabels([t.get_text() for t in ax.get_xticklabels()], fontsize=14, fontweight="bold", color="red")
You can try this:
xlabels = [i.get_text() for i in ax.get_xticklabels()]
ax.set_xticklabels(xlabels, fontsize = 20)
ylabels = [j.get_text() for j in ax.get_yticklabels()]
ax.set_yticklabels(ylabels, fontsize = 15)
It works for me and more convenient.
