Re: [Matplotlib-users] making minor ticks into lines instead of ticks
Hello Chris, for only horizontal lines you can use 'ax.yaxis.grid' like: --- from pylab import * figure() ax = axes() ax.set_yticks([0.0,0.5,1.0], minor=False) ax.set_yticks(list(linspace(0.0, 1.0, 11)), minor=True) ax.yaxis.grid(which='minor') show() --- best regards, Matthias On Tuesday 18 March 2008 10:22, Chris Withers wrote: Eric Firing wrote: I can get the major ticks to show by doing grid(True), but how do I get the same effect for minor ticks?

Matthias Michler wrote: ax.yaxis.grid(which='minor') This is what I was after, thankyou :-) However, the lines show up on top of the lines plotted, not behind them as I'd expect. I tried fiddling with the zorder of the plot and the grid but nothing had any effect. What am I doing wrong? How do I get the grid to show up behind the lines? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
