I guess here one would have to assume you're only plotting lines? Or only
plotting ellipses, but say for example you had different types of plots you
would make, and just need a set of collections.. say you wanted to mix
scatter plots with line plots.
The point is, yes, you're correct, I think this basically does do what I'm
talking about, but having a way to create a 'generic' set of colors that can
be indexed I think is nice. There may be a more 'matplotlibish' way to do
it, I just didn't find it.
Seem ultimately there should be something like:
from matplotlib.colors import colorset
where colorset could just be defined with an integer as the number of
colors, and perhaps a cmap as an option... Maybe it's there?!?! I just
haven't found it.
My sudo code would be:
plotcolors = colorset(10,cmap=cm.jet)
for i in range(len(dataset)):
x,y = dataset[i]
plot(x,y, plotcolors[i])
... or something. **Note: I realize this isn't the best example, as
plot(X,Y) would do it automagically...
