Bug introduced in 10.0.0 and fixed in 10.0.1


Version 10:

This works:

  grids[min_, max_] := Table[If[EvenQ[i], {i, Red}, {i, Blue}], 
       {i, Ceiling[min], Floor[max], 1}];
  Plot[Sin[x], {x, -Pi, Pi}, GridLines -> grids]

Mathematica graphics

But when used with LogPlot it gives an error:

LogPlot[x^x, {x, 1, 5}, GridLines -> grids]

Mathematica graphics

  • $\begingroup$ @Mr.Wizard WRI wants to make it really hard not to have nice log spaced gridlines for LogPlot :) $\endgroup$

For LogPlot and LogLogPlot you need to specify both grids, vertical and horizontal.

grids[min_, max_] := 
  Table[If[EvenQ[i], {i, Red}, {i, Blue}], {i, Ceiling[min], 
    Floor[max], 1}];
LogPlot[x^x, {x, 1, 5}, GridLines -> {grids, Automatic}]

And for {grids, None}:

    $\begingroup$ Interesting observation, but what about grid-lines for the log direction? GridLines -> {grids, grids} does not work. $\endgroup$
