Enhancement: Major and minor ticks and corresponding gridlines #407

In short, the same facilities as in Excel would be great.

I'm trying to Ajax-ify a PHP application currently using Open Flash Charts. Flot works very well, but major/minor gridlines is a desired feature not easy to replicate.

From graham...@orange.fr on April 04, 2010 08:47:09 It seems the only way to do this without touching the library is to write a complete replacement for draw() - the draw hooks are called after the series are drawn, so one cannot add modified gridlines under the plot. Not something I want to do.

I think the best option is to add a drawgrid hook which is called according to the value of grid.aboveData regardless of grid.show, but after drawGrid so one has the choice of adding something to the grid or replacing the function completely.

This would give scope for a plugin to improve grid functionality while resting compatible with existing applications.

From graham...@orange.fr on April 07, 2010 17:22:48 The code to add the new hook is trivial (thanks to good design of the library), and I was able to achieve what I wanted by copying and modifying setupGrid().

From olau%iol...@gtempaccount.com on April 12, 2010 13:07:04 I'd definitely like the grid code to be more flexible, both configuration-wise and with respect to replacing it entirely.

From sti...@gmail.com on December 30, 2010 11:00:54 Indeed, support for minor ticks (grid lines without labels) would be great. Thanks for making this excellent library available!
