Re: [Matplotlib-users] Grid Display

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

Yes.  You can do

	from pylab import *
	...
	axes().grid(True) # For both axes
	axes().xaxis.grid(True) # Just x
	axes().yaxis.grid(True) # Just y

Rather than just an on/off boolean, you can also provide line styles:

	axes().grid(color='r', linestyle='-', linewidth=2)

Cheers,
Mike
