[Matplotlib-users] Selecting a color from a given color map.

[Daniel W. <dan...@gm...>]

Greetings.

I have a series of lines that I would like to plot on the same axis,
but I would like to set the color of each such that the range of
colors used progresses through a given color map (e.g. the default Jet
map.)  For example, if I have 7 lines, the first would use the first
most color from the Jet color map (blue.)  The next line would use the
color that is 1/7 the way up the map, e.g. green or so.  This would
continue until the last line was red.

How would I go about doing this (that is, loading a color map and
pulling a specific color from it that could be handed to plot as an
rgba tuple)?

Thanks!
