specify matplotlibrc file path in python script

Question

After some research in the matplotlib documentation I could not find the answer to my question so here it goes.

Is it possible to give the (relative or absolute) path to the matplotlibrc file I want to use? I have different configuration for different type of plot and I would like use them without copy/paste to the working directory each time...

Thank you!

This seems like a strange question to ask, as simply trying it out would have caused less work than asking this question. — ImportanceOfBeingErnest

The documentation states:

You can create custom styles and use them by calling style.use with the path or URL to the style sheet. Alternatively, if you add your .mplstyle file to mpl_configdir/stylelib, you can reuse your custom style sheet with a call to style.use().

So, yes, it is possible.
