    import pyspecdata as psd
    import matplotlib.pylab as plt
    from numpy import r_

    # when we set the plot color, it overrides any defaults
    a = psd.nddata(r_[0:9], "t", alpha=0.5)
    # after we do this, we no longer need to specify the color argument to plot --
    # it's a property of the data.  It chooses the next color in the default matplotlib cycle
    a.set_plot_color_next()
    # If you want to give a specific color, note that the above is equivalent to
    # a.set_plot_color(psd.mpl_utils.default_cycler)
    psd.plot(a)
    # as long as we don't override that property,
    # it will continue to be used
    b = a + 10
    psd.plot(b, alpha=0.2)
    # and if we copy our properties, this gets copied as one of them
    c = psd.nddata(r_[0:9] + 0.1, "t", alpha=0.2)
    c.copy_props(a)
    psd.plot(c, ".")
    d = psd.nddata(r_[0:9] + 0.2, "t", alpha=0.2)
    d += 0.1
    # but wait! what if I have an unrelated set of data, but still want to move to
    # the next color in the default matplotlib cycle? just do this:
    d.set_plot_color_next()
    psd.plot(d, ":", alpha=0.5)
    plt.show()
