I[1]: y = np.random.randn(100) I[2]: plt.plot(y) O[2]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xa82ea6c>] I[3]: from matplotlib.ticker import MultipleLocator I[4]: ax = plt.gca() I[5]: ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(MultipleLocator(5)) -- Gökhan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
