"""

The rcsetup module contains the default values and the validation code for

customization using matplotlib's rc settings.

Each rc setting is assigned a default value and a function used to validate

any attempted changes to that setting. The default values and validation

functions are defined in the rcsetup module, and are used to construct the

rcParams global object which stores the settings and is referenced throughout

matplotlib.

These default values should be consistent with the default matplotlibrc file

that actually reflects the values given here. Any additions or deletions to the

parameter set listed here should also be visited to the

:file:`matplotlibrc.template` in matplotlib's root source directory.
