Matplotlib 1.5 usage of axes.prop_cycle

Question

axes.color_cycle is deprecated in Matplotlib 1.5. However its usage was quite straightforward: we could easily grab a specific color by:

plt.rc         


        

Answer 1

colors = [color['color'] for color in list(mpl.rcParams['axes.prop_cycle'])]
colors[1]

is a way to restore the old use. First line returns a 2-D array of colors.
