and supports retrieving colors “on-the-fly” from registered colormaps and color cycles.For a colormap, use e.g.
color=('Blues', 0.8)
. The number is the colormap index, and must be between 0 and 1.For a color cycle, use e.g.
color=('colorblind', 2)
. The number is the color list index.
This works with anywhere that colors are used in matplotlib, for example as
'color'
,'edgecolor'
, or'facecolor'
arguments.
