23 Apr Matplotlib – Set the line properties for Grid

In Matplotlib, set the line properties for the grid using the linestyle and linewidth properties of the grid() function.

Key options

linestyle:

• ‘-‘ → solid
• ‘–‘ → dashed
• ‘:’ → dotted
• ‘-.’ → dash-dot

linewidth:

Controls the thickness of the grid lines (e.g., 0.5, 1, 2).

Let us see an example:

# Set line properties for Grid

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

df = pd.DataFrame(
    {
        "Cricket_Bat":['SG', 'BDM', 'SS', 'GM', 'Kookaburra', 'Spartan'],
        "MRP": [2000, 2200, 2400, 2700, 2800, 3000],
        "Weight_Grams": [1100, 1200, 1250, 1330, 1480, 1600]
    }
)

plt.plot(df['MRP'], df['Weight_Grams'])

plt.xlabel('Bat Price (USD)')
plt.ylabel('Bat Weight (Grams)')

plt.title('Bat Price depends on the weight', loc='left')

plt.grid(color = 'grey', linestyle = '--', linewidth = 1.5)
plt.show()
