I modified the code from one of the multiple axes plot examples that I found on the Internet. The plot is embedded in a graphicsView widget that I promoted to a PlotWidget. When I call showGrid for the p1 axis (as shown on line 21 in the code below). I end up with a grid for both p1 and p2 axes. I am sure there is a way to plot just the grid for p1. I've looked through all of the docs and posts and can't find anything about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

remove this line

self.p1.showGrid(x = True, y = True ,alpha = 0.3) 

and use this

self.p1.getAxis("left").setGrid(255)
