Here is the trick : ax = gca() ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(AutoLocator()) x_major = ax.xaxis.get_majorticklocs() dx_minor = (x_major[-1]-x_major[0])/(len(x_major)-1) /5. ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(MultipleLocator(dx_minor)) Cheers ! yves > > Thanks for your help, > > yves > > > > > -- > (o o) > --------------------------------------------oOO--(_)--OOo------- > Yves Revaz > Laboratory of Astrophysics EPFL > Observatoire de Sauverny Tel : ++ 41 22 379 24 28 > 51.
