Hey all, 

I think I know the answer here as "no" or something,  but say I have a curve I 
want to plot and I want the color to change along the curve to denote the 3rd 
variable is there anyway to do this is matplotlib?

What I mean is take the simple plot

from pylab import *
plot(range(30), range(30, 60), lw=10)

and say that the 3rd variable is 
inten = [val ** 2 for val in range(30)]

then can the line change color along its length according to a specified color 
table?

In IDL this is done by just giving a color array with the same length as the 
data then the line changes with the current colortable.

 
Thanks much, 

Brian
