<div class="markdown_content"><p>I'm running gnuplot 4.7 on OS X 10.7.5, but this bug probably affects all platforms.</p> <p>The current order for drawing gridlines in 2D plots appears to be:</p> <p>Major Y-Axis<br /> Minor Y-Axis<br /> Major X-Axis<br /> Minor X-Axis</p> <p>This causes the minor gridlines for the X axis to be draw on top of the major gridlines of the Y axis. This issue is most likely to show up when using gridlines of different colors/weights in logarithmic plots. The correct order should probably be:</p> <p>Minor Y-Axis<br /> Minor X-Axis<br /> Major Y-Axis<br /> Major X-Axis</p> <p>which ensures that all of the major gridlines overlay the minor gridlines.</p> <p>The following code reproduces the bug. In the correct scenario there should be no blue lines overlaying red lines:</p> <p>set grid lw 4 lc rgb "#FF0000", lw 2 lc rgb "#0000FF"<br /> set grid mxtics<br /> set grid mytics<br /> set mxtics<br /> set mytics<br /> plot 0 notitle</p></div>
