Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand relationship between title and label font sizes
Title font size should be double axis label font size (12 * 2 = 24).Step 2: Use rcParams for consistent styling
Setting rcParams for 'axes.labelsize' and 'axes.titlesize' ensures consistent font sizes across plots.Step 3: Compare options
Set plt.rcParams['axes.labelsize']=12 and plt.rcParams['axes.titlesize']=24 sets both sizes explicitly in rcParams, which is best practice for style consistency.Final Answer:
Set plt.rcParams['axes.labelsize']=12 and plt.rcParams['axes.titlesize']=24 -> Option AQuick Check:
rcParams for consistent styling [OK]
Quick Trick: Use rcParams to set related font sizes consistently [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Setting only title fontsize explicitly
- Multiplying fontsize in code without rcParams
- Swapping title and label font sizes
