"""
Demo of custom property-cycle settings to control colors and such
for multi-line plots.

This example demonstrates two different APIs:

    1. Setting the default rc-parameter specifying the property cycle.
       This affects all subsequent axes (but not axes already created).
    2. Setting the property cycle for a specific axes. This only
       affects a single axes.
