You can use itertools.cycle, that will repeatedly loop over a sequence of items: import matplotlib.pyplot as pl from itertools import cycle styles = cycle(['k-', 'k--', 'k-.']) plot([1,2], [1,2], styles.next()) plot([1,2], [1,3], styles.next()) plot([1,2], [1,4], styles.next()) Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
