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. 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') bombayduck:~$ python Python 2.6.5 (r265:79359, Mar 24 2010, 01:32:55) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import matplotlib >>> matplotlib.use('MacOSX') >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> fig=plt.figure() >>> ax=fig.add_subplot(111) >>> ax.plot([1,2,3]) [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x1a27e30>] >>> ax.set_xlabel('Hi there') <matplotlib.text.Text object at 0x1a58030> >>> ax.grid(True, axis='x') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py", line 1823, in grid self.xaxis.grid(b, **kwargs) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/axis.py", line 965, in grid if len(kwargs): artist.setp(tick.gridline,**kwargs) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/artist.py", line 1169, in setp func = getattr(o,funcName) AttributeError: 'Line2D' object has no attribute 'set_axis' -dave---------------------------------------------------------------------- A neuroscientist is at the video arcade, when someone makes him a $1000 bet on Pac-Man.
