The bar chart is incidental to this example.  You can plot whatever
you want in an axes and then issue the table command to generate the
table below (or in some other place) around the axes.

Eg, in the example below, I issue a plot command and remove the bar
command from the table_demo in the examples dir (the "colours" module
is also in the examples directory).

You can set the defaults in your rc file with the foloowing properties

  grid.color       :   black   # grid color
  grid.linestyle   :   :       # dotted
  grid.linewidth   :   0.5     # in points


or you can set the properties in a script by getting a list of the x
and y grid lines

  glines = ax.get_xgridlines() + ax.get_ygridlines()
  setp(glines, linestyle='-', color=0.5, linewidth=1)

Upon first creation you can set the figure size:
figure(figsize=3D(3,6)) for example gives you a tall figure.
But you cannot resize the figure with a command afterwards yet (if I am not
mistaken).
In interactive mode you can stretch the figure on the screen by dragging th=
e
window.

How make plot TALLER keeping same y-min and y-max?? (i.e. stretch it)
for PNG and on screen??

How set grid line properties like solid lines for regular plot?
