setting the default line style order

Is there a way to specify the default order of line colors and
styles, for plot commands given in sequence

I don't think there is built-in support for this. See e.g.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.general/5708
for some previous discussion and suggestions.

It's probably worth mentioning that the cyclers John mentions are
trivial to write using itertools:

colorcycler = itertools.cycle(['blue','green','red','magenta','cyan'])
linecycler = itertools.cycle([ '-','--', '-.' , ':' ])
n = itertools.count()
y = array([1,2,3])

Then, try:

for i in range(10):
plot(y+n.next(),color=c.next(),linestyle=linecycler.next())

Sorry, tab put me in the 'send' button in gmail too early... I meant:

import itertools

colorcycler = itertools.cycle(['blue','green','red','magenta','cyan']).next
linecycler = itertools.cycle([ '-','--', '-.' , ':' ]).next
n = itertools.count().next

y = array([1,2,3])

for i in range(10):
    plot(y+n(),color=colorcycler(),linestyle=linecycler())

Cheers,
