I must confess that this answer makes me sad. FiPy is object oriented precisely so that you don't need to do this. The intended design is that you subclass Matplotlib1DViewer to override the behavior you want. There are two places you can do this:
* In Matplotlib1DViewer.__init__(), around https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/blob/71d82e1cc7b2c4e7c1c996d038fd8542d7e4c5a1/fipy/viewers/matplotlibViewer/matplotlib1DViewer.py#L82 and following, add a `color=` argument to the creation of the lines. * In Matplotlib1DViewer._plot(), after https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/blob/71d82e1cc7b2c4e7c1c996d038fd8542d7e4c5a1/fipy/viewers/matplotlibViewer/matplotlib1DViewer.py#L145, add a `line[0].set_color()` call. In addition to subclassing for your own purposes, a pull request that adds this capability to Matplotlib1DViewer would be most welcome. P.S. I think Dan Lewis is thinking of the custom viewers in https://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/examples/phase/generated/examples.phase.anisotropy.html and https://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/examples/phase/generated/examples.phase.polyxtal.html. Neither does the specific customization you are looking for, but they illustrate how subclassing a Viewer class is intended to work. - Jon > On Mar 19, 2018, at 12:48 PM, Michael J.
