how to turn on the grid?

[LukaPitamic]

First and foremost - AWESOME project.
Working in data-analysis world I'm always missing some aesthetics to spice up the work.

However I'm trying to get closer to examples displayed on readme.md and I can't find any elegant way to show the grid. I can add it manually of course but the examples are so well balanced I wish I could achieve the same. Also what size and DPI were used for achieving this beauty?
And again, thank you for taking care of something missing in this world ;).

Hi @LukaPitamic, thanks for the kind words! As mplcyberpunk is only a decorative layer, you can refer to the matplotlib docs for most options. See e.g. here for grid options. Does this answer your question?

Hi @dhaitz,
thank you quick response. I'm aware of the matplotlib grid options, I already started to "reverse engineer" the look from examples. I'm kind of struggling to get the same look though. If you don't mind sharing the exact matplotlib object buildup (with all settings/parameters) - it would be super appreciated. But if you don't have it handy, please don't bother, I'll do my homework.
In any case, great work!

hi @LukaPitamic, which specific example from the README are you referring to?

[LukaPitamic]

...any example with visible grid would do, but if I have to pick one, then:

I'm after the visual balance between grid and axis. It's a combination of plot size (and DPI setting) and grid & axis lines width.
Thanks!

Here you go:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mplcyberpunk

plt.style.use("cyberpunk")
plt.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 100

x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 128)

n = 20
colors = plt.cm.cool(np.linspace(0,1,n))

for i in range(n): 
    y = np.cos(x) * (i-(n-1)/2)
    plt.plot(x, y, color=colors[i])

mplcyberpunk.make_lines_glow()
plt.show()

Please let me know if this is sufficient.

AMAZING!!!

@dhaitz, thank you very, very much.
From now on the world observed through data also looks great!
