Replace set_nice_params() function with mathplotlib custom style sheets?

[Samuel316]

Why don't we replace this function with a custom NuGrid Style sheet so all the plots are by default both consistent and publication ready (There could even be different sheets for posters, presentations, and different journals).

Sam, that’s a great idea. Check with Adam if you can submit the necessary changes as a pull request at this time. You should also add maybe an example notebook to the wendi-examples repository and let people know about it. Falk.

I've demonstrate that what I suggested can work in practice in branch issue74. If Adam thinks that a real implementation is possible then we begin to design some sort of default style and leave the implementation until after changes in the code settle down.

I think that what I've done only works if you use the -e option with pip during install, it's probably best to include something in the setup file like this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35851201/how-can-i-share-matplotlib-style that adds the style to matplotlib.
