Hello,<br>
<br>
<br>
I've a question about style sheets: <br>
<blockquote><i>W</i><i>ould it be possible for stylesheets to
redefine the colorkeywords ('r','g','b'...) to match their color
design ?</i><br>
</blockquote>
I believe this is not currently possible, is that right ?<br>
<br>
The only thing that comes close is the modification of the dict
matplotlib.colors.ColorConverter.colors as discussed here
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://stackoverflow.com/a/19626339/2822346">http://stackoverflow.com/a/19626339/2822346</a>)<br>
<br>
The motivation for this would be to have a quick way to reuse colors
from the default color cycle. Indeed, the new Cycler objects are
powerful, but a bit heavy weight, especially for quick interactive
usage. This is pseudo code for the use case I've in mind:<br>
<blockquote>suplot(211)<br>
plot(x, y1) # will be blue<br>
plot(x, y2) # will be green<br>
<br>
subplot(212)<br>
plot(x, y3, 'r') # y3 should stand out. will be red instead of
blue<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
With the classic style, this approach gives a coherent result, but
using for example 'seaborn-deep', the default red 'r' is out of
place. So to make the short color keywords useful again, it would be
nice if seeborn-deep could redefine 'r' to be the one used in its
color cycle (a nice dark purple red #8172B2).<br>
<br>
for now, seeborn-deep defines the rcParams axes.prop_cycle'<br>
cycler(u'color', [u'#4C72B0', u'#55A868', u'#C44E52', ...<br>
<br>
and with this proposition, it could be instead<br>
cycler(u'color', [u'b', u'g', u'r'.... like for classic style (at
least for the first 3 colors, not sure for the following colors)<br>
but with extra entries in rcParams to define what b, g, r, ...
should mean.<br>
<br>
<br>
(Also, I apologize in advance if this kind of proposition has been
discussed already on the mailing list or on github. I understand
there was much discussion on the topic of style change and I was not
much following the discussion these last months.)<br>
