Playing with styles

Help Sergeant Laura try out a few different style options. Changing the plotting style is a fast way to change the entire look of your plot without having to update individual colors or line styles. Some popular styles include:

  • 'fivethirtyeight' - Based on the color scheme of the popular website
  • 'grayscale' - Great for when you don't have a color printer!
  • 'seaborn' - Based on another Python visualization library
  • 'classic' - The default color scheme for Matplotlib
