Are minor grid lines broken?

[Mike S. <mw...@us...>]

I tried the following and I get the minor tics, but not the minor grid lines.

gnuplot> set mxtics
gnuplot> set mytics
gnuplot> set tics scale 3,1.5
gnuplot> set grid lc rgb "green",lc rgb "blue"
gnuplot> sh grid

        Rectangular grid drawn at x y tics
        Major grid drawn with linetype 0 linecolor rgb "green"  linewidth 
1.000
        Minor grid drawn with linetype 0 linecolor rgb "blue"  linewidth 1.000
        Grid drawn at default layer

gnuplot> plot x

The sequence above works if "set grid" is used.  The documentation doesn't say anything about "linecolor", just "linestyle", "linetype", "linewidth".
