Yes, you just need to set a locator for the minor ticks, which is set to NullLocator by default. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.ticker import MaxNLocator plt.plot([1,2,3]) ax = plt.gca() ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(MaxNLocator(nbins=30, steps=[1, 2, 5, 10])) plt.show() You might also want to look at: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/major_minor_demo1.html?highlight=codex%20minor Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
