Question

I am comparing some algorithmic results using matplotlib.pyplot, however it is very difficult to understand what is going on since several lines have the same exact color. Is there a way to avoid this? I don’t think that pyplot has only seven colors, has it?

Answer 1

Matplotlib has more than seven colors. You can specify your color in many ways (see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/colors_api.html).

For example, you can specify the color using an html hex string:

pyplot.plot(x, y, color='#112233')
