When doing my master thesis, I wanted my plots to be printable on a black and white printer in case my professor would print or photocopy it (you never know)

I wrote up a blogpost about my findings on how to generate monochrome plots. I haven’t really used matplotlibs since my thesis days, but it’s kinda funny to see what my thoughts back then were on the interface.

I found the OO interface a necessary evil and that you have to mix interfaces to get full control of your plots.

Maybe things have been ironed out in the past 5 years? Reading the comments here it seems like the sentiment is that the OO interface is considered the sane, true interface.
