How to do it...

The following code block plots four different types of graphs, all with the same style sheet, to demonstrate how to use a style sheet:

1. Define the style to be applied for all the graphs in this session:

plt.style.use('seaborn-bright')

2. Define the figure, size, and adjust the space between the plots:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 4, figsize=(10,5))fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.5)

3. Plot a histogram on the first axis:

ax[0].hist(np.random.randn(1000))

4. Plot three line graphs on the second axis:

for i in range(3):    ax[1].plot(np.random.rand(10))ax[1].legend(['a', 'b', 'c'], loc='lower left')

5. Plot a scatter plot on the third axis:

ax[2].scatter(np.random.rand(100),np.random.rand(100),  s=100*np.random.rand(100)*np.random.rand(100)) ...
