I get that too, (with your script and various things in my work).
But if you zoom in, the lines are in the right place. Is it
some kind of screen aliasing?
Jules
Thanks for testing.
If I zoom at any line cross, the lines are definitely at the wrong place for me.
As for screen aliasing I'm not sure since both the png and pdf seems to be wrong in my case.
Weird !

It still can be some aliasing-related issue. Note that with
interpolation="nearest", the images are rasterized with given dpi even
if you save the figure as pdf.
The agg backend tries to adjust the location of lines and images so
that they are well-aligned with the pixels, and the issue seems to be
related with that behavior.
In my case, using interpolation="none" worked out okay. So give it a try.

You're right. Using 'none' interpolation seems to solve the problem. Good to know !
One last question, why is the 'none' interpolation restricted to Agg/PS/pdf ?

Sorry, I was too fast in my reply.
When I save the figure, the png output is ok while the pdf is displaying some kind of interpolation with the image.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
n = 16
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(6,6))
Z = np.array(([0,1]*(n//2) + [1,0]*(n//2))*(n//2)).reshape(n,n)
plt.imshow(Z, interpolation='none', cmap=plt.cm.gray, extent=[0,n,0,n], alpha=.25)
plt.xticks(np.arange(0,n), )
plt.yticks(np.arange(0,n), )
plt.grid(ls='solid')
plt.savefig('pylab-grid.png')
plt.savefig('pylab-grid.pdf')
plt.show()
Just for the record, "Skim", "Preview" and "Adobe Reader" on OSX do not give the same output on the saved pdf.
"Adobe Reader" displays the expected result (same as saved png) while "Preview" and "Skim" are apparently trying to make some (bad) interpolation of the checkboard image.

Thanks for making this so easy to reproduce. It is so much easier when there is a small, self contained, correct example!
Initially I was thinking that the problem was some kind of snapping issue with the ticks, but it turns out, if you change the interpolation scheme to “none”, you get perfect alignment:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
n = 16
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
Z = np.zeros((n, n))
Z[::2, ::2] = 1
Z[1::2, 1::2] = 1
pick the interpolation you want:
interp = ‘nearest’
interp = ‘none’
plt.imshow(Z, interpolation=interp,
cmap=‘gray’, extent=[0, n, 0, n],
alpha=0.25)
plt.xticks(np.arange(n))
plt.yticks(np.arange(n))
plt.grid(ls=‘solid’)
plt.show()
I haven’t considered where to go from this point, but I wanted to let you know about this option.
Thanks,
Phil

In reply to message from Nicolas Rougier, dated Tuesday 30 of October 2012,
on subject “Re: [matplotlib-devel] Misalignment imshow vs. grid lines”
You’re right. Using ‘none’ interpolation seems to solve the problem. Good
to know !
Unfortunately it does not! It only makes problem less pronounced, but still present. Furthermore pcolor is also affected, similarly to imshow, however, the misalignment is usually no more than one pixel (although in some applications it is still unacceptable).
I guess that the problem is with truncation errors in some calculations…
Here are some test scripts and sample results. Mind that the misalignment depend randomly on zoom factor and the position of the image.
The scripts:
test_imshow.py
--------------
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
n = 16
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
Z = np.ones((n, n))
Z[::2, ::2] = 2
Z[1::2, 1::2] = 2
def test(interp, sub):
plt.subplot(sub)
plt.imshow(Z, interpolation=interp,
cmap=‘gray’, extent=[0, n, 0, n], vmin=0)
plt.xticks(np.arange(n))
plt.yticks(np.arange(n))
plt.grid(ls=‘solid’)
plt.title(interp)
test(‘nearest’, 121)
test(‘none’, 122)
plt.show()
test_pcolor.py
--------------
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
n = 16
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
Z = np.ones((n, n))
Z[::2, ::2] = 2
Z[1::2, 1::2] = 2
plt.pcolor(np.arange(n+1), np.arange(n+1), Z,
cmap=‘gray’, vmin=0)
plt.xticks(np.arange(n))
plt.yticks(np.arange(n))
plt.grid(ls=‘solid’)
plt.show()
The results (some manual zooming) are attached and also available here:
http://dems.art.pl/files/imshow.png
http://dems.art.pl/files/pcolor.png
Yep, I can confirm this but the story is a bit different on my side since the .png is wrong but not the .pdf (only ok with Acrobat Reader though):
import numpy as np
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
n = 16
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(6,6))
Z = np.zeros((n,n))
Z[::2,::2] = Z[1::2,1::2] = 1
plt.imshow(Z, interpolation='none', cmap=plt.cm.gray, extent=[0,n,0,n], alpha=0.25)
plt.xticks(np.arange(0,n), ), plt.yticks(np.arange(0,n), )
plt.grid(ls='solid')
delta = 0.01
plt.xlim(1-delta,1+delta), plt.ylim(1-delta,1+delta)
plt.savefig('pylab-grid.png')
plt.savefig('pylab-grid.pdf')
