Styling with cycler
===================
Demo of custom property-cycle settings to control colors and other style
properties for multi-line plots.
    More complete documentation of the ``cycler`` API can be found
    `here <http://matplotlib.org/cycler/>`_.
This example demonstrates two different APIs:
1. Setting the default rc parameter specifying the property cycle.
   This affects all subsequent axes (but not axes already created).
2. Setting the property cycle for a single pair of axes.
from cycler import cycler
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# First we'll generate some sample data, in this case, four offset sine
x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 50)
offsets = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 4, endpoint=False)
yy = np.transpose([np.sin(x + phi) for phi in offsets])
###############################################################################
# Now ``yy`` has shape
print(yy.shape)
###############################################################################
# So ``yy[:, i]`` will give you the ``i``-th offset sine curve. Let's set the
# default prop_cycle using :func:`matplotlib.pyplot.rc`. We'll combine a color
# cycler and a linestyle cycler by adding (``+``) two ``cycler``'s together.
# See the bottom of this tutorial for more information about combining
# different cyclers.
default_cycler = (cycler(color=['r', 'g', 'b', 'y']) +
                  cycler(linestyle=['-', '--', ':', '-.']))
plt.rc('lines', linewidth=4)
plt.rc('axes', prop_cycle=default_cycler)
###############################################################################
# Now we'll generate a figure with two axes, one on top of the other. On the
# first axis, we'll plot with the default cycler. On the second axis, we'll
# set the prop_cycler using :func:`matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_prop_cycle`
# which will only set the ``prop_cycle`` for this :mod:`matplotlib.axes.Axes`
# instance. We'll use a second ``cycler`` that combines a color cycler and a
# linewidth cycler.
custom_cycler = (cycler(color=['c', 'm', 'y', 'k']) +
                 cycler(lw=[1, 2, 3, 4]))
fig, (ax0, ax1) = plt.subplots(nrows=2)
ax0.plot(yy)
ax0.set_title('Set default color cycle to rgby')
ax1.set_prop_cycle(custom_cycler)
ax1.plot(yy)
ax1.set_title('Set axes color cycle to cmyk')
# Add a bit more space between the two plots.
fig.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.3)

# Setting ``prop_cycler`` in the ``matplotlibrc`` file or style files
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# Remember, if you want to set a custom ``prop_cycler`` in your
# ``.matplotlibrc`` file or a style file (``style.mplstyle``), you can set the
# ``axes.prop_cycle`` property:
# ..code-block:: python
#    axes.prop_cycle    : cycler(color='bgrcmyk')
# Cycling through multiple properties
# -----------------------------------
# You can add cyclers:
# .. code-block:: python
#    from cycler import cycler
#    cc = (cycler(color=list('rgb')) +
#          cycler(linestyle=['-', '--', '-.']))
#    for d in cc:
#        print(d)
# Results in:
# .. code-block:: python
#     {'color': 'r', 'linestyle': '-'}
#     {'color': 'g', 'linestyle': '--'}
#     {'color': 'b', 'linestyle': '-.'}
# You can multiply cyclers:
# .. code-block:: python
#     from cycler import cycler
#     cc = (cycler(color=list('rgb')) *
#           cycler(linestyle=['-', '--', '-.']))
#     for d in cc:
#         print(d)
# Results in:
# .. code-block:: python
#     {'color': 'r', 'linestyle': '-'}
#     {'color': 'r', 'linestyle': '--'}
#     {'color': 'r', 'linestyle': '-.'}
#     {'color': 'g', 'linestyle': '-'}
#     {'color': 'g', 'linestyle': '--'}
#     {'color': 'g', 'linestyle': '-.'}
#     {'color': 'b', 'linestyle': '-'}
#     {'color': 'b', 'linestyle': '--'}
#     {'color': 'b', 'linestyle': '-.'}
