Running this gives two blue and one red bar plot, when it should give (in my expectation) one cyan, one magenta (from the cycle) and one red (manually set). The top axis' plot gets cycled correctly.\n\n```\nfrom cycler import cycler\nimport numpy as np\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\n\nx = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi)\noffsets = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 4, endpoint=False)\n# Create array with shifted-sine curve along each column\nyy = np.transpose([np.sin(x + phi) for phi in offsets])\n\nplt.rc('lines', linewidth=4)\nplt.rc('axes', prop_cycle=(cycler('color', ['r', 'g', 'b', 'y']) +\n                           cycler('linestyle', ['-', '--', ':', '-.'])))\nfig, (ax0, ax1) = plt.subplots(nrows=2)\nax0.plot(yy)\nax0.set_title('Set default color cycle to rgby')\n\nax1.set_prop_cycle(cycler('color', ['c', 'm', 'y', 'k']) +\n                   cycler('lw', [1, 2, 3, 4]))\n# ax1.plot(yy) # original\nax1.bar(x, yy[:,1])  # a simple bar plot from the available data\nax1.bar(x, yy[:,2])  # both these come out as blue\nax1.bar(x, yy[:,3], color='r')  # this works, gives red bars, so \"color\" is recognized!\nax1.set_title('Set axes color cycle to cmyk')\n\n# Tweak spacing between subplots to prevent labels from overlapping\nplt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.3)\nplt.show()\n```\n\nThis is on mpl 1.5.1. Is this pebkac, or does the cycler only work for some plots (if so, which ones)?\n\nAlso, are hatches supported by this, too (I mean, as soon as it works)? That's what I ultimately want to do.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/bilderbuchi","@type":"Person","name":"bilderbuchi"},"datePublished":"2016-01-14T16:10:34.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/5854/matplotlib/issues/5854"}
