Here we cycle through\nall of the available `matplotlib` colour schemes, allowing you to choose a pleasing one.\n\n[There may well be ___more___ colour schemes available - but not yet installed.]\n\nOf course there is also [seaborn](http://seaborn.pydata.org/) - but that may be overkill\nfor many use cases. Even so, we will install it so its colour schemes are available.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nPython and `pip` obviously.\n\nInstall the rest as follows:\n\n    $ pip install --user -r requirements.txt\n\n[Replace with `pip3` for Python 3.]\n\n## Data\n\nWe will use the well-known [Iris](http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Iris) dataset.\n\n## Use\n\nRun `plot_style.py` by typing \u003ckbd\u003epython plot_style.py\u003c/kbd\u003e.\n\nClose the displayed graphs if they do not conform to your aesthetics.\n\nOnce you find a style you like, make a note of the final displayed style:\n\n```bash\n$ python plot_style.py \nseaborn-darkgrid\nseaborn-notebook\nclassic\nseaborn-ticks\ngrayscale\nbmh\nseaborn-talk\ndark_background\nggplot\nfivethirtyeight\n_classic_test\nseaborn-colorblind\n^C$ \n```\n\nIn the example shown above, this would be `seaborn-colorblind`.\n\n[You can continue through the rest of the available styles - perhaps you\n may find a style that is even more pleasing - or else type \u003ckbd\u003eCtrl-C\u003c/kbd\u003e\n to terminate.]\n\n## Examples\n\nThe following are some examples of colour styles:\n\n#### Classic\n\n![Classic](images/classic.png)\n\n[Probably a good default choice for most uses, although I think the green is hard to read.]\n\n#### Seaborn Colorblind\n\n![Seaborn Colorblind](images/seaborn-colorblind.png)\n\n[Probably a better default choice for most uses, although the green is hard to scan.]\n\n#### Seaborn Deep\n\n![Seaborn Deep](images/seaborn-deep.png)\n\n[A nice variation on the Colorblind scheme but the green is still hard to read.]\n\n## Reference\n\nMatplotlib style gallery:\n\n    http://matplotlib.org/gallery.html#style_sheets\n\nSeaborn:\n\n    http://seaborn.pydata.org/tutorial.html\n\n## To Do\n\n- [ ] Investigate creating a scheme with an easier-to-scan green\n\n## Credits\n\nInspired by one of the answers to this StackOverflow question:\n\n    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46383645/seaborn-and-pd-scatter-matrix-plot-color-issues\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmramshaw%2Fno_more_blue","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmramshaw%2Fno_more_blue","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmramshaw%2Fno_more_blue/lists"}
