matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

I am a huge fan of cycling line styles in conjunction with cycling colors
in general. There is a cycler PR that achieves that goal fairly nicely:

You might want to cycle line types and/or thicknesses along with colors. 
  You could also check out the seaborn line color palettes.

See https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2871 and the links there
in.  This colormap should be in 1.4.x as `'Wistia'`.

http://matplotlib.org/users/colormaps.html has some references.

There is an open PR to add a color-blind filter an any artist
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/3279 but I am not sure of
it's state.

Hi all,

This is a bit of a case of lazy mailing list, but I'm hoping there might be
some experts here who can point me in the right direction.

Does anyone know of a good resource to pull a color cycle for line plots
that are good for color-blind readers?  I'm currently writing a paper that
includes a number of plots that include multiple line plots in the same
axes, and it would be nice if I'm not alienating a significant fraction of
my readers with a poor color choice.

Thanks very much for your help!
