Did anything ever come of the MPL black and white mode mentioned in the following? I rarely want to produce colour plots and having an inbuilt mechanism for cycling through line styles that can be activated with a keyword argument would be very handy. http://www.mail-archive.com/mat...@li.../msg00367.html Cheers, Will |

In the past there's been discussion of adding a linestyle cycle rc param, but I don't think there's been progress on that front. BTW, Ben: are you still thinking about some sort of hierarchical configuration management? I think it'd make a great MEP, if you find the time. Best, -Tony |

Ben, Tony: thanks for the info. mpltools is new to me, very much like the idea of being able to enable stylesheets for specific plots. +1 for linestyle cycling. I've been impressed with Sigmaplot's default choices of line styles when producing B&W figures and would love it if such behaviour were easily accessible in MPL. Cheers, Will |

Of course, this was before I discovered GraphicsContext, which makes me wonder if it could be generalized and moved out of the backends to serve such a purpose. Of course, with regards to rcparams, we definitely need to re-examine how we are doing it right now before it gets too bloated... Ben Root |

I've been thinking a lot lately about how CSS could be used to specify
styles in matplotlib. It would allow one to specify any set of styles
to cycle through (colors, linestyles, whatever other properties).
axes.nth-child(0) { color: blue }
axes.nth-child(1) { color: green }
vs.
axes.nth-child(0) { dashes: dotted }
axes.nth-child(1) { dashed: dashed }
The obstacles to integrating something like that are that a) matplotlib
currently doesn't maintain the fact that a plot's style was "unset" at
the time of creation, and b) the heirarchy of plot objects is a little
tangled, so it would be hard to specify using CSS selectors what should
be styled.
It does keep popping up in my brain as a clean and complete solution to
the problem of styling, but there would need to be a number of changes
to the internal plumbing to make it work.
