{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Axes.grid() not honoring specified \"zorder\" kwarg","articleBody":"`Axes.grid()` is not honoring a provided custom `zorder`. Instead the grid's zorder seems to be fixed at some miraculous value in between `2.5` and `2.6` (I could not find a key for grid zorder in rcParams). This can be annoying because than all other artists `zorder` have to be adjusted around the grid zorder as opposed to only changing the zorder of the grid.\n\nEdit: I'm on mpl 1.4.3\n\nExample:\n\n``` python\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt \nax = plt.gca()\nax.grid(lw=30, ls=\"-\", zorder=-10)\nax.text(0, 0.5, \"spam\", color=\"r\", size=200, zorder=2.5)\nax.text(0, 0, \"eggs\", color=\"g\", size=200, zorder=2.6)\nplt.show()\n```\n\n![figure_x](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1842780/9787570/3d1e09de-57c4-11e5-8d32-160ab97b2c7b.png)\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/megies","@type":"Person","name":"megies"},"datePublished":"2015-09-10T12:01:16.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/5045/matplotlib/issues/5045"}
