To set horizontal and vertical, major and minor grid lines of a plot, we can use grid() method.
Steps
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Create a figure and a set of subplots.
- Make horizontal grid lines for major ticks.
- Locate minor locator on the axes.
- Use grid() method to make minor grid lines.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.ticker import MultipleLocator plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.yaxis.grid(which="major", color='r', linestyle='-', linewidth=2) ml = MultipleLocator(0.10) ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(ml) ax.xaxis.grid(which="minor", color='k', linestyle='-.', linewidth=0.7) plt.show()
