RE: linestyle and gridlines

Chris,

Not sure which grid lines you want but I think this is what you are referring to
x = sin(1:10);
figure, plot(x);
get( get(gcf,'children'), 'linewidth' ) % current value
set(get(gcf,'children'), 'linewidth', 3 )       % set the outer box width to 3

The figure is a parent to a bunch of objects. Calling get(object_handle) gives 
you the properties and current value of all properties for that object.

Subject: linestyle and gridlines

I started out searching for a way to make my grid lines thicker or
darker so my students could see them more clearly using a projector. I
still haven't figured out how to do that, so any help would be great. In
the process, I noticed the linestyles and linewidth commands, but when I
type linewidth 2 or linestyles : nothing happens. Am I misunderstanding
how to use these commands? do they have to be included in my plot
command? any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Chris
