When I try to turn on the grid for just one axis, seemingly in perfect
accordance with the documentation at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.grid
it seems like there is a problem. I am able to make a graph, but trying to
turn on the grid for just one axis causes an error.
My commands are pasted below.
Am I doing this wrong? I am doing the best I can to follow the documentation
exactly.
Thanks for any help!
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('MacOSX')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig=plt.figure()
ax=fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot([1,2,3])
ax.set_xlabel('Hi there')
ax.grid(True, axis='x')

A neuroscientist is at the video arcade, when someone makes him a $1000 bet
on Pac-Man. He smiles, gets out his screwdriver and takes apart the Pac-Man
game. Everyone says "What are you doing?" The neuroscientist says "Well,
since we all know that Pac-Man is based on electric signals traveling
through these circuits, obviously I can understand it better than the other
guy by going straight to the source!"
