How to change the font of Axis label in Pyqtgraph

I have a custom font, I am able to set this font in title of the graph, I need help in setting the axis label font.(left, bottom axis labels)

I am able to set the font to the title of the graph like this

 graphWidget = pyqtgraph.PlotWidget() graph = graphWidget.getPlotItem() graph.titleLabel.item.setFont(font) 

I would like to know if there's any similar way to set the font for axis labels.

To set custom QFont to axis label, you have to setFont for label of each axis.

Here is a short example, which changes font family to Times for title, bottom and left axis.

import sys import pyqtgraph from PyQt5.QtGui import QFont from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication app = QApplication(sys.argv) # Define your font my_font = QFont("Times", 10, QFont.Bold) graphWidget = pyqtgraph.PlotWidget() graphWidget.setTitle("My plot") # Set label for both axes graphWidget.setLabel('bottom', "My x axis label") graphWidget.setLabel('left', "My y axis label") # Set your custom font for both axes graphWidget.getAxis("bottom").label.setFont(my_font) graphWidget.getAxis("left").label.setFont(my_font) graph = graphWidget.getPlotItem() # Set font for plot title graph.titleLabel.item.setFont(my_font) graphWidget.show() app.exec()
