Matplotlib

Possible styles:

• grid

• darkgrid

• greengrid

• scientific

  Possible color options:

• official

• colorful

• rainbow

Plotly

In plotly graph objects first the figure needs to be generated and afterwards the function “fig.update_layout(template = fhgCD.get_plotly_template(style, color_cycle))” needs to be run. In plotly express the template needs to be specified when creating the plot with “px.scatter(df, template=fhgCD.get_plotly_template(“scientific”, “colorful”))”..

Possible styles:

• grid

• darkgrid

• greengrid

• scientific

  Possible color options:

• official

• colorful

Using Colors Directly

To use the colors directly, import them from the fhgcd_plots.ISEcolors module.
