Simple matplotlib header for making your plots more visual pleasing. Similarly to prettyplot. Difference is this is really just a .py file you import, that changes some of the default values of matplotlib. Nothing fancy.

This is based on matplotlib.org/users/customizing.html.

Most journals want either sans-serif or specifically Arial/Helvetica.

I dislike the default colors in matplotlib (who doesn't), so I changed them to some colors which are still clear, but doesn't make you vomit.
