skforecast.plot.plot.set_dark_theme

set_dark_theme(custom_style=None)

Set aspects of the visual theme for all matplotlib plots. This function changes the global defaults for all plots using the matplotlib rcParams system. The theme includes specific colors for figure and axes backgrounds, gridlines, text, labels, and ticks. It also sets the font size and line width.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
custom_style dict

Optional dictionary containing custom styles to be added or override the default dark theme. It is applied after the default theme is set by using the plt.rcParams.update() method.

None

Returns:
