[Matplotlib-users] Get color from legend for errorbar plots

[Scott Lasley]

As Tom Caswell pointed out, you can use the legendHandles.  Something like this may do what you want

plt.errorbar([1,2,3],[1,2,3],yerr=0.2,label='22')
plt.errorbar([3,1,2],[2,3,1],yerr=0.3,label='33')
z  = plt.legend()
[lc.get_colors() for lc in z.legendHandles]

hth,
Scott
