Leheny Plotting Style - Safe Version

leheny-safe

# This is Dan Allan's setting of Professor Robert Leheny's plotting style preferences.
#
# THIS IS THE "SAFE" VERSION, WHICH IS NOT AS PRETTY AS OTHER VERIONS,
# BUT LESS LIKELY TO RUN INTO ERRORS ON WINDOWS OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT A GOOD
# LATEX INSTALLATION.
#
# Updated October 2014
#
# Invoke in Python matplotlib like so:
#
#     import matplotlib as mpl
#
#     mpl.style.use('https://gist.github.com/danielballan/be066529de85e87a5fe7/raw')
#
# This feature is only available in matplotlib version 1.4 or higher.
