[Rivet] plotting of multi-weight curves in 3.0.0alpha1

Hi,

Not necessarily, you could also use .* for the file, couldn't you?

Looks like neither

.*/MC_JETS/\[MUR0.5_MUF1_PDF261000\]::LineColor=blue

nor the version where I use the specific yoda file name work. Escaping the
square brackets didn’t help either.

I have a feeling this is because in rivet-cmphistos, there is a loop over
all canonical analysis objects (I guess that’s the nominal curves?) and
within that there’s a loop over all the variations for that object. It
looks like the style of the variations is hardcoded to be the same as the
style of the canonical objects. So it seems that currently there is indeed
no way to overwrite the style for a specific variation.

Cheers,
Chris
