Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response. I did download your program and gave
it a try. I was doing some complicated plots so in the end I just
decided to use oplot and generate my own grey lines for each major and
minor tickmark on the axis.
Thanks again,
Mark

I have what I think is a general solution to make the major tickmarks
light gray and full length. It might be a starting point to make
something similar for the minor tickmarks?
