[matplotlib-devel] Plot line style cycle?

2011-08-25 Thread Benjamin Root 
I am currently in the process of a paper submission, and the page charge
estimation took us for a bit of a surprise.  Luckily, most of my plots don't
need color, and I would like to regenerate them in b&w mode.

Is there some default line style cycle (I.e., ['-', '.', '--', '.-']) that
can be set analogous to the color cycle used by default?

Thanks,
Ben Root

Indeed a confusing bug -- errors were not being returned correctly from 
the PNG extension.

Can you confirm that

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib-py3/commit/927acf856bb321e22938846bb39f8b32d90172d4

resolves the issue?

Something like this came up a while ago as a feature request--same sort 
of motivation, I think--but it was never implemented.

You could make a little function that would operate on line objects, 
changing colors from the color cycle to black while using those colors 
to specify line styles.
