Re: [Matplotlib-users] automatically choose line markers/styles?
Just an idea: Maybe you could also auto cycle between dash types if only the colour and not the dash type is specified in a plot command. The gnuplot default would be one model, or the predefined patterns in CorelDraw or Inkscape etc. Personally I don't see this as a high priority though.

I want pylab to just choose them, just as it does for colors. Well, pylab does choose: it varies color and not the dash pattern in order to have distinct lines. I think what you are wanting is something like the following: have pylab/pyplot cycle automatically through a set of preset Line2D property combinations, when an axes plots multiple lines. I think the answer is: this is not available in the form you want. (Indeed, it is hard for me to imagine agreement on nice choices for multiple properties.) Of course you can do something like this:: from itertools import cycle mystyles = ['r+-', 'b.--', 'go-.'] #etc ax1styles = cycle( mystyles ) for x,y in data: ax1.plot(x, y, ax1styles.next()) Cheers, Alan Isaac - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Noone has every asked for auto-marker cycling before, but it might be a good idea and wouldn't be too hard to add. JDH - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Matplotlib-users] automatically choose line markers/styles?
Can matplotlib automatically choose line styles and/or markers for a group of plots? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
