Makie seems really exciting, but when I tried it as part of my workflow, I found it lacks a rather basic feature.
It seems that Makie does not have working color cycles (automatically picking up a new color for each new line in a plot). The lack of automation does not bother me too much as even in matplotlib I frequently just put these colors by hand.
However, picking up custom but pretty colors from a palette seems very clunky (personal subjective opinion) and under documented (I think that is fairly objective). The majority of the examples in the gallery just use :red :blue :green which definitely detracts from the visual appeal and legibility.
In matplotlib I can pick the default palette and just use “C1”, “C2”, etc as references to these colors. What is the “standard” way in Makie to draw a couple of lines colored by colors from a pretty palette? Something that does not require boilerplate hopefully? Any chance this advice can be added to the tutorial/gallery instead of using the :red :green :blue lines? (Happy to make the edits if I know what the Makie invocation looks like)
