bold text in matplotlib table

How to insert bold text in a cell of matplotlib table (pyplot table) ?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.table(cellText=[['my_texte_bold', 'other cell'], ['cell1', 'cell2'])

Answer

See the documentation for an example of how to iterate over the cells of the table and apply font properties. For example, to make the text in the first row bold, you could do the following:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties

table = plt.table(cellText=[['my_texte_bold', 'other cell'], ['cell1', 'cell2']])
for (row, col), cell in table.get_celld().items():
    if (row == 0):
        cell.set_text_props(fontproperties=FontProperties(weight='bold'))
