[matplotlib-devel] pyplot.rgrids returns wrong values?

[Tony Yu <ts...@gm...>]

Sorry for reposting, but the original may have been overlooked since  
it was buried deep in a matplotlib-users thread.

Currently, `pyplot.rgrids` is returning tick lines instead of grid  
lines. My guess is that this is a typo, but there may be a compelling  
reason to return the tick lines. If it is a typo, here's a patch:
