But that's an untested theory and I thought I'd raise the issue with @WeatherGod and @tacaswell who have looked at property cycling much closer than I recently.\n\nI'm coming across this as part of the style changes where I'm taking out a lot of the hardcoded styles in the examples and discovering that many things don't handle cycles correctly that probably could.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/mdboom","@type":"Person","name":"mdboom"},"datePublished":"2015-11-27T19:11:13.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":10},"url":"https://github.com/5577/matplotlib/issues/5577"}
