matplotlibrc

# Matplotlib defaults for this project.
#
# Matplotlib auto-loads `matplotlibrc` from the current working directory before
# the user/system config. Every entry point in this repo (Make, hpc/submit_*.sh,
# the run_*_pipeline orchestrators) runs from the repo root, so these defaults
# apply to all generated figures.
#
# Why fonttype 42:
#   - Default `pdf.fonttype = 3` (Type 3) embeds glyphs as outlined paths in PDF
#     output. Illustrator (and many other vector tools) cannot edit Type 3 text
#     as text -- it shows up as un-editable filled paths.
#   - `pdf.fonttype = 42` (TrueType) embeds the underlying TTF font, so labels
#     remain editable text in Illustrator while staying fully vector.
#   - `ps.fonttype = 42` does the same for any .eps/.ps output.
#   - `svg.fonttype = none` keeps SVG text as text (no path conversion).
