It works by importing a module that patches matplotlib's font configuration on load, eliminating the need to manually set font properties in every script.\n\nThe package bundles the IPAexGothic font (Ver.003.01) and applies it globally to matplotlib. It has no runtime dependencies beyond matplotlib itself, but its effectiveness depends on import order\u2014other libraries that reconfigure matplotlib's fonts can override its settings, requiring either explicit re-japanization via japanize_matplotlib.japanize() or careful import sequencing.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to display Japanese text in matplotlib plots and want to avoid manual font configuration. The permissive MIT License and zero runtime dependencies make installation straightforward. However, the package is dormant (last release 2020-10-21) and may have compatibility issues with recent matplotlib versions\u2014test it in your environment first. Be aware of import-order gotchas with other font-setting libraries."},"id":"japanize-matplotlib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/japanize-matplotlib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/japanize-matplotlib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/japanize-matplotlib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-10-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"japanize-matplotlib","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"matplotlib\u306e\u30d5\u30a9\u30f3\u30c8\u8a2d\u5b9a\u3092\u81ea\u52d5\u3067\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u5316\u3059\u308b"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":309808,"position":7751,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.3"}
