gridlines are part of the Axis, and do not obey the zorder.  But you
can put them above or below by setting the axisbelow property of the
Axes

  ax.set_axisbelow(True)

Dear Lisa,

thank you for your response to my problem getting started with matplotlib. As 
I reported already, the problem was a split up of the necessary python 
modules into two packages (namely, python2.3-numeric and 
python2.3-numeric-ext) in Debian Sarge, and I installed only 
python2.3-numeric.
However, having python packages in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib should not be a 
problem, and is not a problem here.

Yours sincerely

Tobias Hilbricht

If I'm not mistaken, zorder determines what objects will
be "on top" of what other objects.

I got this working fine for some lines on my plot but
it seems to have no effect on **grid lines**.
(I want grid lines to be *behind* everything.)

Here is code snippet for grid stuff....

        plot_.grid(True)
        grid_ =3D plot_.get_xgridlines() + plot_.get_ygridlines()
        pylab.setp(grid_, linestyle =3D "-", color =3D "k",=20
                   linewidth =3D "0.5",
                   zorder =3D 0.5)


Thanks!

Chris
