===================
Styling with cycler
===================

Demo of custom property-cycle settings to control colors and other style
properties for multi-line plots.

.. note::

    More complete documentation of the ``cycler`` API can be found
    `here <https://matplotlib.org/cycler/>`_.

This example demonstrates two different APIs:

1. Setting the rc parameter specifying the default property cycle.
   This affects all subsequent Axes (but not Axes already created).
2. Setting the property cycle for a single pair of Axes.

# First we'll generate some sample data, in this case, four offset sine

# %%
# Now ``yy`` has shape
print(yy.shape)

# %%
# So ``yy[:, i]`` will give you the ``i``-th offset sine curve. Let's set the
# default ``prop_cycle`` using :func:`matplotlib.pyplot.rc`.  We'll combine a
# color cycler and a linestyle cycler by adding (``+``) two ``cycler``'s
# together.  See the bottom of this tutorial for more information about

# Now we'll generate a figure with two Axes, one on top of the other. On the
# first axis, we'll plot with the default cycler. On the second axis, we'll
# set the ``prop_cycle`` using :func:`matplotlib.axes.Axes.set_prop_cycle`,
# which will only set the ``prop_cycle`` for this :mod:`matplotlib.axes.Axes`
# instance. We'll use a second ``cycler`` that combines a color cycler and a
# linewidth cycler.

# Setting ``prop_cycle`` in the :file:`matplotlibrc` file or style files
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Remember, a custom cycler can be set in your :file:`matplotlibrc`
# file or a style file (:file:`style.mplstyle`) under ``axes.prop_cycle``:
#
# .. code-block:: python
#
#    axes.prop_cycle : cycler(color='bgrcmyk')
#
# Cycling through multiple properties
# -----------------------------------
#
# You can add cyclers:
#
# .. code-block:: python
#
#    from cycler import cycler
#    cc = (cycler(color=list('rgb')) +
#          cycler(linestyle=['-', '--', '-.']))
#    for d in cc:
#        print(d)
#
# Results in:
#
# .. code-block:: python
#
#     {'color': 'r', 'linestyle': '-'}
#     {'color': 'g', 'linestyle': '--'}
#     {'color': 'b', 'linestyle': '-.'}
#
#
# You can multiply cyclers:
#
# .. code-block:: python
#
#     from cycler import cycler
#     cc = (cycler(color=list('rgb')) *
#           cycler(linestyle=['-', '--', '-.']))
#     for d in cc:
#         print(d)
#
# Results in:
#
# .. code-block:: python
#
#     {'color': 'r', 'linestyle': '-'}
#     {'color': 'r', 'linestyle': '--'}
#     {'color': 'r', 'linestyle': '-.'}
#     {'color': 'g', 'linestyle': '-'}
#     {'color': 'g', 'linestyle': '--'}
#     {'color': 'g', 'linestyle': '-.'}
#     {'color': 'b', 'linestyle': '-'}
#     {'color': 'b', 'linestyle': '--'}
#     {'color': 'b', 'linestyle': '-.'}
