[Matplotlib-users] get_*gridlines alwys returns the same things?

[Nico S. <nic...@gm...>]

This is weird:

When plotting something very simple, e.g.,

        t = arange( 0.0, 2.0, 0.01 )
        s = sin( 2*pi*t )
        plot( t, s, ":" )

I thought I can check weather the grid is on or off by

   gca().get_xgridlines()

-- but this *always* returns

<a list of 5 Line2D xgridline objects>

with *always* the same lines

Line2D((0,0),(0,1))
Line2D((0,0),(0,1))
Line2D((0,0),(0,1))
Line2D((0,0),(0,1))
Line2D((0,0),(0,1))

That's really independent of whether the grid is on or off.

Is there any explanation for it that does not have to do with Harry
Potter or the Jedi? ;)
