Is there a simpler way to define a style for line and bar graphs and activate them together in pgfplots?

TeX - LaTeX Asked on August 31, 2021

I want to define different styles for line plots and bar graphs in pgfplots, that can later be used independently or together, depending on the users choice. I therefore defined two cycle lists for each style, called *Bar and *Line. To load both at the same time, I then define another style called * and "automated" this step already through the defineStyle macro.

Is there are more elegant way, to create the style, because as you see, I am using all the same settings (marks, filling, etc.) for every bar, so is there a neat way to iterate over a list of colors and create all the three styles with a single call to a macro? Something like createStyle{color}{blue,orange} and createStyle{mono}{black,gray} that works with an arbitrary number of colors that creates the mono and correspondig monoBar and monoLine styles? Maybe there is a more PGF-like way of doing it, that I am overlooking?
