features:

|
- |
|
|
The matplotlib output type for the
|
|
:func:`~qiskit.visualization.circuit_drawer` and
|
|
the :meth:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit.draw` method for the
|
|
:class:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit` class now supports configuration
|
|
files for setting the visualization style. In previous releases, there was
|
|
basic functionality that allowed users to pass in a ``style`` kwarg that
|
|
took in a ``dict`` to customize the colors and other display features of
|
|
the ``mpl`` drawer. This has now been expanded so that these dictionaries
|
|
can be loaded from JSON files directly without needing to pass a dictionary.
|
|
This enables users to create new style files and use that style for
|
|
visualizations by passing the style filename as a string to the ``style``
|
|
kwarg.
|
|
|
|
To leverage this feature you must set the ``circuit_mpl_style_path``
|
|
option in a user config file. This option should be set to the path you
|
|
want qiskit to search for style JSON files. If specifying multiple path
|
|
entries they should be separated by ``:``. For example, setting
|
|
``circuit_mpl_style_path = ~/.qiskit:~/user_styles`` in a user config
|
|
file will look for JSON files in both ``~/.qiskit`` and ``~/user_styles``.
