ubuntu16.04 中matplotlib解决显示中文为方框

今天需要用matplotlib显示中文，下面及就分享一下我的个人解决过程，首先下载SimHei,下载网址为：

http://www.downcc.com/font/7665.html

然后打开一个py文件写入代码：

import matplotlib
print(matplotlib.matplotlib_fname())

会显示一个路径，我的路径为，把上面下载的SimHei放到该路径的fonts/ttf目录下，我的为：

/home/eric/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf

上面代码显示的路径为：

/home/eric/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc

font.serif          : DejaVu Serif, Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif,sans-serif
font.sans-serif     : DejaVu Sans, Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucid, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif,SimHei
axes.unicode_minus  : False   # use unicode for the minus symbol
                               # rather than hyphen.  See
                               # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_and_minus_signs#Character_codes

修改这三项，然后在命令行里运行：

 locate -b 'mpl-data'

我运行成功后，提示为：

➜  ~ locate -b 'mpl-data'
/home/eric/anaconda3/envs/py2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
/home/eric/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
/home/eric/anaconda3/pkgs/matplotlib-2.1.2-py36h0e671d2_0/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
/home/eric/anaconda3/pkgs/matplotlib-2.2.3-py27hb69df0a_0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data
/usr/share/matplotlib/mpl-data

然后删除缓存：

cd ~
rm -r .cache/matplotlib 

重新运行程序就会显示中文了啊。效果展示：
