Re: [Matplotlib-users] Call for new style defaults
Hi Thomas,
Are there also already plans to change the default color cycle?
Changing to one of the qualitative color sequences from colorbrewer2
would be a very nice change in defaults, but I am presuming that this
has already been suggested?
Cheers,
Tom

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Call for new style defaults
I second that motion and would especially like it if the default color cycle were longer than the current one (7 colors).
