Is there a way to reset matplotlib line style while plotting? [duplicate]

Question

A simple quick question: I am plotting stuff into a figure. Line colors are cycling with each new plot command.

Is there a way to tell matplotlib to "reset" the style and set it back to the first color, continuing to cycle from the start?

Something like:

plt.plot(np.random.rand(10,))   # -> produces line with color #0000ff
plt.plot(np.random.rand(10,))   # -> produces line with color #008000
plt.plot(np.random.rand(10,))   # -> produces line with color #ff0000
# now what I wish for
plt.colors_reset_or_something_like_that()
# and then colors are back to start
plt.plot(np.random.rand(10,))   # -> produces line with color #0000ff
plt.plot(np.random.rand(10,))   # -> produces line with color #008000

Thanks for the quick pointer, @Mathias. The answer is clearly stated at Reset color cycle in Matplotlib

The line I needed is:

plt.gca().set_prop_cycle(None)
