Hello: I am trying to set different colors for both major and minor gridlines. In essence, I want the major gridlines to be slightly darker than the minor ones. However, using the syntax below, I can only seem to set the properties of one of the sets of gridlines at a time. If I comment out the ax.xaxis.grid() call for the minor grid, the major grid color gets set correctly. However, if I try to set both, as shown below, only the color for the minor grid is set. Is the minor grid overriding the major grid somehow? If so, is there another property I need to set somewhere? Many thanks if anyone can help :-) minor_grid_color = '#E6E6E6' major_grid_color = '#DCDCDC' figure(figsize=(pagewidth, pageheight), frameon=frameon, facecolor=facecolor, edgecolor=edgecolor) minor_multiple = 900 major_multiple = 3600 axes([0.05, 0.05, 0.90, 0.90]) ax=gca() ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(MultipleLocator(minor_multiple)) ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(MultipleLocator(major_multiple)) ax.xaxis.grid(True, which="major", linestyle='-', color=major_grid_color) ax.xaxis.grid(True, which="minor", linestyle='-', color=minor_grid_color) |

I ended up finding a solution to this by using a FixedLocator and manually setting each of the tick positions for both major and minor grids without overlap. I'm not sure if this is the recommended way to do this, but hey, it worked ;-) for tick in range(seconds+1)[1:]: if tick % major_multiple == 0: xmajorticks.append(tick) elif tick % minor_multiple == 0: xminorticks.append(tick) ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(FixedLocator(xmajorticks)) ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(FixedLocator(xminorticks)) At 15:14 14.3.2007, Peter Buschman wrote: >Hello: > >I am trying to set different colors for both major and minor >gridlines.

Has anyone figured out code that's more efficient than this? It seems that this can slow down my application's data "load time". Also, since I'm using the zoom widget, I'm not certain if this will work if the tick markers change If I change my x limits...
