I have a plot with a pass/fail metric, and wish to show this clearly by having to seperate colors in the plot. To make the data stand out, I have a background grid to the axis tick marks. However, this does not affect the fill I use to color the area under the plot, as this seems to be the top layer.
An example of what I have now is shown below:
The code used to generate this is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots, amsmath}
\pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
\pgfplotsset{major grid style={color=black}}
\pgfplotsset{every tick/.style={black,}}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[
xmin=5,
xmax=55,
ymin=0,
tick align=outside,
tickpos=left,
xtick=data,
ytick={0,0.2,...,2.5},
enlargelimits=false,
axis background/.style={fill=green!30},
grid=both,
xlabel=Frequency (MHz),
ylabel=V$_{\text{DD}}$ (V)]
\addplot
[const plot, fill=red!30]
coordinates
{
(5,0.7)
(10,0.8)
(15,0.9)
(20,1)
(25,1.1)
(30,1.2)
(35,1.3)
(40,1.4)
(45,1.5)
(50,1.6)
(55,1.7)
}
\closedcycle;
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
I want the gridlines to overlap the whole plot (meaning the fill as well). How can I achieve this?

The grid and axes can be drawn on top of the plots by setting
axis on top
