Introduce new Tableau colors
4+
----------------------------
5+
6+
In its version 10, Tableau `introduced a new palette of categorical colors
7+
<https://www.tableau.com/about/blog/2016/7/colors-upgrade-tableau-10-56782>`__.
8+
Those are now available in matplotlib with the prefix ``tabx:``:
9+
``{'tabx:blue', 'tabx:orange', 'tabx:red', 'tabx:cyan', 'tabx:green',
10+
'tabx:yellow', 'tabx:purple', 'tabx:pink', 'tabx:brown', 'tabx:grey'}``
11+
12+
Those colors are also provided as a new ``tabx10`` colormap. An additional
13+
``tabx20`` colormap with is added.
14+
15+
In general those colors are a little less saturated than those from the default
16+
color cycle. Replacing the default color cycler with those colors can e.g. be
17+
achieved via
18+
19+
::
20+
21+
cols = plt.cm.tabx10.colors
22+
plt.rcParams["axes.prop_cycle"] = plt.cycler("color", cols)}
