positions of gridlines (and ticks, ticklabels, etc) are updated during the drawing time (when the figure is drawn). Thus, the coordinates of lines returned by gca().get_xgridlines() are sometimes meaningless and you have to be careful about using this (it is best not to pay attention). However, other artist-related attributes, e.g., line colors etc, are respected. Whether gridlines are on or off is actually controlled by each tick. For example, for t in gca().xaxis.majorTicks: print t.gridOn A status of the gridlines is also kept in the axis-level. print gca().xaxis._gridOnMajor Regards, -JJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
