python matplotlib ipython axis figure
sten picture sten · Jul 16, 2016 · Viewed 40.6k times · Source

I want to add more fine grained grid on a plotted graph. The problem is all of the examples require access to the axis object. I want to add specific grid to already plotted graph (from inside ipython).

How do I gain access to the current figure and axis in ipython ?
