grid lines at specific coordinates

Community matplotlib-users

Friends,

I would like to place grid lines (precisely draw lines) at specific (x,y) coordinates. If i am not wrong, grid() function will take only True/False arguments. Someone kindly write me if there is any way to do this.

Thanks,
Bala

Perhaps the Major/Minor Locators would be of use to you?

When turning on the grid, you can control whether you turn on the minor or major lines by specifying the ‘which’ keyword. Use major lines if you want tick labels for them, use minor lines if you don’t.

I hope this helps,
Ben Root

Are you perhaps looking for the axvline and axhline pyplot functions and corresponding Axes methods?
