"Science" style not found on Google Colab

Hey there!

Thanks for the amazing project! Really useful for upcoming submissions 😅

Though, I ran into an issue when trying it out on Google Colab. I pip installed the style library following the instructions on the README. I then wrote down

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.style.use(['science','ieee'])

and it gave me the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FileNotFoundError                         Traceback (most recent call last)
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/style/core.py in use(style)
    113             try:
--> 114                 rc = rc_params_from_file(style, use_default_template=False)
    115                 _apply_style(rc)

5 frames
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'science'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    121

OSError: 'science' not found in the style library and input is not a valid URL or path; see `style.available` for list of available styles

Any remedies for this would be awesome!

Thanks 😃

Hi @rish-16

Does this work?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.reload_library()
plt.style.use('science')

Sure!
