Just one quick thought.  I hope that you will implement a longer default
color cycle than the current default.  I have several times run into
situations where I have to either modify the cycle or specify the colors
manually because I had more than 7 lines.  Also, it'd be nice to have
the colors be as distinguishable as possible (at least early in the
cycle).  I agree that having linestyle cycling as well would be nice,
though it's difficult to imagine as many distinguishable line styles as
colors, though there could certainly be more than the current 4.  I
wonder about a simple mechanism to opt for line style cycling rather
than color cycling so as to produce black & white plots (as mentioned in
another post).
