From Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24193174/reset-color-cycle-in-matplotlib

In a few different contexts, I've wanted to be able to reset the color cycle explicitly in my code for a given set of axes. I.e. I do some plotting, then want to start the color cycle over from the beginning, and then want to plot some more, all on the same axes.

The gang on SO didn't seem to think this had a very natural implementation. Would it make sense to implement an axis.reset_color_cycle() method?
