matplotlib.pyplot.set_loglevel#

matplotlib.pyplot.set_loglevel(level)[source]#

Configure Matplotlib's logging levels.

Matplotlib uses the standard librarylogging framework under the rootlogger 'matplotlib'. This is a helper function to:

  • set Matplotlib's root logger level

  • set the root logger handler's level, creating the handlerif it does not exist yet

Typically, one should callset_loglevel("info") orset_loglevel("debug") to get additional debugging information.

Users or applications that are installing their own logging handlersmay want to directly manipulatelogging.getLogger('matplotlib') ratherthan use this function.

Parameters:
level{"notset", "debug", "info", "warning", "error", "critical"}

The log level of the handler.

Notes

Note

This is equivalent tomatplotlib.set_loglevel.

The first time this function is called, an additional handler is attachedto Matplotlib's root handler; this handler is reused every time and thisfunction simply manipulates the logger and handler's level.
