However xgrids are finely set to a bigger linewidth whereas xticks doesn't change. I[6]: xticks O[6]: <a list of 12 Text xtickline objects> I[6]: xgrids O[6]: <a list of 6 Line2D xgridline objects> I[7]: xticks[0] O[7]: <matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xb8b560c> I[8]: xgrids[1] O[8]: <matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xb8626ec> Interestingly xticks is returned as a list of Text objects, while each element of this list looks like a Line2D (which really supposed to be.)
