Align Matplotlib graph colors with similar colors (color map)

| No color map | There is a color map |

Method
If you are dealing with continuous data, you can create beautiful graphs by using color maps.
The color map is obtained with plt.get_cmap (). By passing a numerical value (0.0 to 1.0) to the acquired color map, you can use the colors in that color map.
demo.py
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
N = 16
x = np.arange(0, 4, 0.01)
y = [i * np.sin(x)**2 for i in xrange(N)]
cmap = plt.get_cmap("Blues")
for i in xrange(len(y)):
plt.plot(x, y[i], c=cmap(float(i)/N))
plt.show()
