Hi,
I am trying to plot X axis with major ticks set at the beginning of the month and minor ticks set on day 15th of the month. I'd like to have tick lines and no tick labels for the major axis, and tick labels but no tick lines for minor axis. 
Could somebody let me know what I am doing wrong?
Thank You
Code Snippet:
 # X axis major
 day1 = MonthLocator(range(1,13),bymonthday=1,interval=1) # every month day 1
 ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(day1)
 ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(ticker.NullFormatter())
 ax.xaxis.grid(True,which='major')
 # X axis Minor
 months = MonthLocator(range(1,13),bymonthday=15, interval=1) # every month on day 15
 monthsFmt = DateFormatter('%b')
 ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(months)
 ax.xaxis.set_minor_formatter(monthsFmt)
 
 ax.xaxis.grid(False,which='minor')
 # X No tick lines
 for t in ax.xaxis.get_minor_ticks():
 t.tick1On=False
 t.tick2On=False
 #t.gridOn=False
 #t.tick1line.set_markersize(0)
 #t.tick2line.set_markersize(0)
 #t.tick1line.set_markeredgewidth(0)
 #t.tick2line.set_markeredgewidth(0)

Pyplot is designed mainly for interactive work, and for situations where 
no explicit calls to a gui library are needed. When you do need to work 
directly with a gui library, don't use pyplot; let your explicit gui 
calls control the windows and the mainloop, and use the matplotlib 
object-oriented interface for the actual plotting--in a window supplied 
by the gui.
In the matplotlib/examples directory, check out 
user_interfaces/embedding_in_gtk2.py for an example of using mpl in a 
gui app; note that it does not import pyplot. It's a very minimal 
example, but it does show how one can put a plot in a figure, which is 
in a canvas, which is in a window. Everything beyond the figure level 
is via the gtk gui directly.

Hi,
 I am facing little trouble in understanding the pyplot concept.
