How'd I set the default color cycle in a theme in the current version of plotnine?

[andyljones]

As of a few versions back, I could set the color cycle with

class MyTheme(pn.theme):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(complete=True)

        self._rcParams.update({'axes.prop_cycle': my_cycler})

I've updated plotnine though and (a) I have to turn complete off now, as it seems to be a heavier requirement than it used to be and (b) with it off, axes.prop_cycle doesn't seem to take effect.

How'd I set the same rcParam entry now?

Thanks!

I am surprised that the prop_cycle could have ever worked! I cannot see how. Matplotlib prop_cycle conflicts with the default aesthetic values (when there is no mapping to the aesthetic) or the discrete scales (when there is a mapping to the aesthetic).

When creating a theme, it is better to inherit from one of the provided themes and alter as you please. Otherwise you have to specify a bunch of probably uninteresting little details. Previously the code had some embedded values to fallback on, that is not the case anymore they all must come from the theme.

Thanks! Can you point me at a provided theme that alters the default aesthetics? I had a look at seaborn and I couldn't spot it there. This module has a bunch of color-code related docs but those args seem to have been removed.
