Hello,

I am trying to change the colour and size of the grid ticks and ticklabels. However, in the GUI, the grid button just allow to change the size and colour of the axis title but not that grey colour of the tick numbers which cannot be used with white background. I would rather not to use the black background. Is there any way to fix this?

I am using the version 5.8.0 RC1 in IOs.

Thanks in advance

Jeffersson

Both Grid and Axes Grid let you change the label color. Click on the gear icon.

Hi,

I tried that already but I don’t see where to change the numbers font size of the axis.

There is supposed to be a scrollbar.
