Plot With Grid Lines
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# The Data
x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
y = [234, 124,368, 343]
# Create the figure and axes objects
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, figsize=(8, 6))
fig.suptitle('Example Of Plot With Grid Lines')
# Plot the data
ax.plot(x,y)
# Show the grid lines as dark grey lines
