I guess I can use |axes.get_color()|to get the current color in the color cycle. However, I was not able to try this, as when I try to import pyplot I get an |ImportError: No module named _path|. It seems to be library related, but I’m not quite sure how I can solve this… Thanks -- *Marin GILLES* /PhD student CNRS / /Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne (ICB) UMR 6303 CNRS - Université de Bourgogne 9 av Alain Savary, BP 47870 21078, Dijon (France) / ☎ (+33)6.79.35.30.11 ✉ mar...@u-... <mailto:mar...@u-...> |
