Conditional coloring using matplotlib?

Question

So I am getting stock market data using yahoo_finance python library and I am plotting the data with matplotlib.

I want to color the graph based on if the stock price went up or down. Is it possible to do this with matplotlib? If it goes up: green, if it goes down: red?

Well you need to apply a function that compare your prices , and when the price is up you apply your green color by plot(x, y, color='green', linestyle='dashed') for example , and yes it's supported on matplotlib , you can find more infos here
