Remarks

This class provides the functionality for the grids on the chart, and is exposed using the MajorGrid and MinorGrid properties of each Axis object.

Major grid lines by default do not have their Interval, IntervalOffset, IntervalType, and IntervalOffsetType properties set. When these properties for major grid lines are not set, the Chart control determines the appropriate values for grid lines automatically.

The axis and its minor grid lines by default have their Interval, IntervalOffset, IntervalType, and IntervalOffsetType properties set to Auto (0). If axis labels or minor grid lines are enabled and these properties are not modified, the Chart control automatically determines how often to draw the minor grid lines.

Axis grids:

• Can be enabled or disabled.

• Have a starting point that determines where they are first drawn.

• Display lines that can be set for style, width and color.

• Can have either automatic intervals, or intervals that are set manually.
