matplotlib.axes.Axes.grid

Axes.grid(b=None, which='major', axis='both', **kwargs)

Configure the grid lines.

Parameters:

b : bool or None Whether to show the grid lines. If any kwargs are supplied, it is assumed you want the grid on and b will be set to True. If b is None and there are no kwargs, this toggles the visibility of the lines. which : {'major', 'minor', 'both'} The grid lines to apply the changes on. axis : {'both', 'x', 'y'} The axis to apply the changes on. **kwargs : Line2D properties Define the line properties of the grid, e.g.: grid(color='r', linestyle='-', linewidth=2) Valid kwargs are Property Description agg_filter a filter function, which takes a (m, n, 3) float array and a dpi value, and returns a (m, n, 3) array alpha float animated bool antialiased bool clip_box Bbox clip_on bool clip_path [(Path, Transform) | Patch | None] color color contains callable dash_capstyle {'butt', 'round', 'projecting'} dash_joinstyle {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'} dashes sequence of floats (on/off ink in points) or (None, None) drawstyle {'default', 'steps', 'steps-pre', 'steps-mid', 'steps-post'} figure Figure fillstyle {'full', 'left', 'right', 'bottom', 'top', 'none'} gid str in_layout bool label object linestyle {'-', '--', '-.', ':', '', (offset, on-off-seq), ...} linewidth float marker unknown markeredgecolor color markeredgewidth float markerfacecolor color markerfacecoloralt color markersize float markevery unknown path_effects AbstractPathEffect picker float or callable[[Artist, Event], Tuple[bool, dict]] pickradius float rasterized bool or None sketch_params (scale: float, length: float, randomness: float) snap bool or None solid_capstyle {'butt', 'round', 'projecting'} solid_joinstyle {'miter', 'round', 'bevel'} transform matplotlib.transforms.Transform url str visible bool xdata 1D array ydata 1D array zorder float

Notes

The grid will be drawn according to the axes' zorder and not its own.
