I like the convenience of automatic coloring without having to set a PlotStyle, I'd just like to control what colors will be used. I haven't tried it yet (I'm not teaching this part of the summer), but I strongly suspect that the default colors will not be easily distinguishable on the overhead projectors in our classrooms. I normally have to use carefully selected, bright colors to get good contrast on the projectors. -- Helen Read University of Vermont
