To change the plot style in Matplotlib use the the plt.style.use(~) method.
Examples
To use the ggplot style from the R library:
plt.style.use("ggplot")
NOTE
Once you apply a style, it will be used for all figures created during the session unless changed.
To check all the different styles available in Matplotlib, visit the official documentation.
Resetting plot style
To reset plt.style in Matplotlib to the default, use:
plt.style.use("default")
This will give you back the plain old styling.
