Re: [Matplotlib-users] Call for new style defaults

[Thomas R. <tho...@gm...>]

Hi Thomas,

Are there also already plans to change the default color cycle?
Changing to one of the qualitative color sequences from colorbrewer2
would be a very nice change in defaults, but I am presuming that this
has already been suggested?

Cheers,
Tom
