`prettyplotlib.plot` Example

The default matplotlib color cycle is not pretty to look at ... It was taken from MATLAB's color cycle. Need to do this example first because prettyplotlib changes the default color cycle to a nicer one, from ColorBrewer's Set2.

import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl_plt
# Set the random seed for consistency
np.random.seed(12)

fig, ax = mpl_plt.subplots(1)

# Show the whole color range
for i in range(8):
    y = np.random.normal(size=1000).cumsum()
    ax.plot(y)
fig.savefig('plot_matplotlib_default.png')

Yeah.. not nice

    # For now, you need to specify both x and y :(
    # Still figuring out how to specify just one
    ppl.plot(ax, x, y)
