I want to: 1. Have matplotlib assign the linecolor for a plot 2. Read the linecolor with .get_color() 3. Create another plot with the linecolor set to a lighter version of the previous linecolor.
Ie: a, = plot(x,y) a.get_color() = 'b' b, = plot(x,y, color = "#xxxxxx") Since I'm only using the standard matplotlib assigned colors which cycle through b,g,r,c,m,y,k I thought I would just create a mapping between each color and a lighter version. How do I get the hex or RGB string for the base matplotlib colors? Also, if there's a different property I can use to lighten the line color without changing the color that would be cool too.
