use matplotlib color map for color cycle

Question

If I create colors by e.g:

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

n = 6
color = plt.cm.coolwarm(np.linspace(0.1,0.9,n))
color

Answer 1

For Matplotlib 2.2, using the cycler module will do the trick, without the need to convert to Hex values.

import cycler

n = 100
color = pyplot.cm.viridis(np.linspace(0, 1,n))
mpl.rcParams['axes.prop_cycle'] = cycler.cycler('color', color)
