How to do it...

The following code block plots six tie objects; the last two are repeats of the first two. It repeats the cycle after every four objects in this example:

1. Define the figure and attach it to the canvas:

fig = Figure()FigureCanvas(fig)

2. Set facecolor, edgecolor, and alpha for the figure and add an axis:

fig.set(facecolor='grey', alpha=0.2, edgecolor='m')ax = fig.add_subplot(111)

3. Set the data for plotting the graphs:

x = np.array([0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.5])y = [1, 6, 6, 1, 0]

4. Define a custom_cycler for the color and hatch attributes, and set it for the axis:

custom_cycler = cycler('color', ['g', 'blue', 'y', 'c']) + \                cycler('hatch', ['+*', 'xx', '+x', '+O.'])ax.set_prop_cycle(custom_cycler)

5. Plot the graphs for six tie ...
