How can I enable the minor grid lines in a Matlab plot?

Question

See the documentation:

• With grid on and grid off, you can show or hide a major grid.
• With grid minor, you toggle the visibility of the minor grid lines. This means that if a plot script containing grid minor is run multiple times, the minor grid will be shown or hidden depending on whether it was run an odd or even number of times. Is there a way to always show the minor grid, so without toggling? Something like grid minor on.

Answer 1

You can set the XMinorGrid, YMinorGrid and ZMinorGrid properties of your axes to 'on'.

surf(peaks)
set(gca,'XMinorGrid','on');
set(gca,'YMinorGrid','on');
set(gca,'ZMinorGrid','on');
