[Matplotlib-users] semilog minor grid problem

[Forrester, K. <kur...@gm...>]

I cannot seem to get the following code produce what I expect. I want minor
tick marks between my major ticks on a base 2 logx plot.

ax = axes()
ax.set_xlim(0.5, 2)
ax.set_xscale('log', basex=2, subsx=range(2,9))
grid(b=True, which='minor')

I would have expected there to be minor ticks at 2^(-1:0.1:1) excluding
-1,0 and 1. Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Kurt
