[Matplotlib-devel] Changing rcParams locally, on the fly

[Benjamin Root]

I should also note, that it is possible to change the color cycle after an
axes is created (although, now it is called the prop_cycle), using
ax.set_prop_cycle(). Keep in mind that any plots that have already been
made are unaffected by changing the property cycle because they have
already had their properties assigned.
