Hello I want to add minor grid in matlab but with the step i want and i dont know the command. For example my ticks is from 0 to 400 and the step is 50 so the grid start with a step of 50 but i would like to have minor grid with a step of 25...how can i do that...Can someone inform me please?

You can use

grid minor

to turn on the minor grid, but Matlab does not supply any axes property to
allow you to control the spacing explicitly: it always automatically determines
the spacing it will use for the minor grid lines.

There might perhaps be a Matlab File Exchange (FEX) contribution that would
assist in this?

--
Q = quotation(rand);
if isempty(Q); error('Quotation server filesystem problems')
else sprintf('%s',Q), end

Hi.

Another way might be to set the major tick to the minor tick positions
you want, to have a controllable tick, and label only the major
ticks.
