I think what you are asking is how to make mpl plot different line
types in colors and styles that are easily distinguishable when
plotted in grayscale. I had tinkered with this a bit in the past and
the final suggestion was to write some helper functions so that I
could do the following:from mycyclers import colorcycler, linecycler
for data in mydata:
ax.plot(data, linestyle=linecycler(), color=colorcycler())so that by writing a linecycler function I could control the line
types plotted each time and the same with the color. Color would be
specified as a grayscale such as '#808080' for a medium gray or
'#000000' for black.I didn't actually do it this way or I would post the code (I was in a
hurry and did something hackish). I think that linecycler and
colorcycler would be helper classes thta increment there own internal
count when called and return a linestyle or color.I think what you want in the end is a simple way to do this:
t=arange(0,1,0.01)
y=sin(2*pi*t)
x=cos(2*pi*t)
plot(t,x,color='#000000',linestyle='-')
plot(t,y,color='#808080',linestyle=':')where color and line style would increment pseudo-automatically
through lists you have defined and that you like.A slightly better approach might be:
t=arange(0,1,0.01)
y=sin(2*pi*t)
x=cos(2*pi*t)
data=[x,y]
mycolors=['#000000','#808080']
mytypes=['-',':']def grayscaleplot(data,t):
for n,item in enumerate(data):
plot(t,item, color=mycolors[n], linestyle=mytypes[n])FWIW,
