In my delight at seeing x and y (horizontal and vertical) grids, and  
legend text all looking good in the resulting svg files, I completely  
overlooked the fact that only the major y (horizontal) grids were plotted.  
The x major and minor grids were plotted.
I have since read and re-read the docs on what I can find on this and had  
no joy in being able to produce the y minor grid.
I suspect this is due to my ignorance, but maybe not.

Here is the plotting stuff from my script...
% plot psd
        [rawpower,rawfreq] = pwelch(acc,[],[],[],Fs);
        figure;
        loglog(rawfreq,rawpower,'b');
        legend("Predicted acceleration-PSD");
        grid("on");
        grid ("minor","on");
        axis("label","tic");
        legend("show")
        axis([0.1 400 0.0000000001 1])
        xlabel("hz")
        ylabel("g^2/hz")
        drawnow();
        print("PSD.svg","-dsvg");

I have experimented with bitmap output, ie jpg, with no joy.
Also tried axes commands i.e...

fig = gca();
set(fig,"xminorgrid","on");
set(fig,"yminorgrid","on");

and still no minor y grid.

I am running Octave 3.6.4 on fedora x86_64.

Does anyone else see this behaviour?
What is the trick to plotting the y minor grid ?
