Thanks for the advertisement Ben ;)

Will: If you're just interested in grayscale plotting, here's a direct link
to the example:


http://tonysyu.github.com/mpltools/auto_examples/style/plot_grayscale.html

The discussion that you link to talks specifically about line styles. 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,
