Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.pyplot.grid() function in matplotlib.pyplot: Example #1:Python3 1==
# Implementation of matplotlib function   
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Implementation of matplotlib function   
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

np.random.seed(19680801)

val, res = 100, 15
x = np.sin(val + res * np.random.randn(10000)) - np.cos(val + res * np.random.randn(10000))

n, bins, es = plt.hist(x, 200, 
                            density = True, 
                            facecolor ='g', 
                            alpha = 0.5)

plt.grid(True)
