Dear all,

I want to plot grids in my plot.

I couldn't find any keyword like 'grid' in the help document of 'plot()' <function sage.plot.plot.plot="">, and hence I tried NUMERICAL PLOTTING:

sage: from pylab import *
sage: t = arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
sage: s = sin(2*pi*t)
sage: P = plot(t, s, linewidth=1.0)
sage: xl = xlabel('time (s)')
sage: yl = ylabel('voltage (mV)')
sage: t = title('About as simple as it gets, folks')
sage: grid(True)
sage: savefig(os.path.join(SAGE_TMP, 'sage.png'))
sage: P 
[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7e0a050>] # stored in RAM?

but nothing came out... OK, how can I check if SAGE can call Matplotlib in my OS (openSuSE 12.3) correctly? I have installed and updated 'matplotlib' for Python 2.7 via YaST2.

Thanks in advance!

Matplotlib is already shipped in Sage, and Sage uses it when it deals with plots. You can define a grid as follows:

sage: grid = Graphics()
sage: for i in range(-10,10,1):
....:     grid += line([(i,-10),(i,10)])
....:     grid += line([(-10,i),(10,i)])
sage: grid

Then you can add plots as follows:

sage: t = var('t')
sage: P = plot(sin(2*pi*t), (t,-10,10))
sage: P
sage: P + grid

EDIT: actually, there are gridlines and gridlinesstyle options, see the documentation. Example (without tuning):

sage: plot(sin(2*pi*t), (t,-10,10), gridlines=True)

Thanks! But is there any automatic method like 'grid on' in MATLAB? I want to add grids on a loglog or semilog plot.

`var('t'); plot(sin(2*pi*t), (t,-10,10), gridlines=True, scale='loglog')` But you do have to do it on a plot by plot basis.

Thanks! I am really confused where is the matplot object? <matplotlib.lines.line2d at="" 0x7e0a050=""> what does it mean? I am now learning to plot using matplotlib http://matplotlib.org/users/pyplot_tutorial.html.......... I could not let the example work in SAGE.

Oh. My. God. Really? Draw grid by hand?

Again, you can also use the gridlines keyword - see ppurka's answer, for instance.

Use the gridlines option to any plot. Search the page here under Graphics for the term "gridlines".
