Thread: [Matplotlib-users] how to put grid under the plot lines?

Pl see picture below. The grid always shows on top of the plot lines. Is it
possible to put it below?

Thanks!

When creating the axes or subplot, set axisbelow=True

  ax = fig.add_subplot(111, axisbelow=True)

There is an rc param 'axes.axisbelow' to change the default behavior
