  xyChart xAxis grid line density (verticle gridlines)

This code sets the labels on the chart below

                TickStep = CInt((Period.Length / AreaWidth) * 20)
                mainXYChart.xAxis().setMultiFormat(Chart.StartOfMonthFilter(), "<*font=Arial,color=" & st.BorderTextColor.Replace("#", "") & "*>{value|mmm d}", _
                Chart.StartOfDayFilter(1, 0.5), "<*font=Arial,color=" & st.BorderTextColor.Replace("#", "") & "*>{value|d}", TickStep)
                mainXYChart.xAxis().setMultiFormat(Chart.AllPassFilter(), "-")

QUESTION: How do I get the vertical gridlines to marry up to labels above?
As you can see the gridlines draw for every data bar, and not just the label dates.

Any ideas?

Hi icm63.

Your code configures everyday to have grid lines. There are major grid lines for days with labels, and minor grid lines for all other days. (The line mainXYChart.xAxis().setMultiFormat(Chart.AllPassFilter(), "-") configures minor grid lines for all other days.)

If you do not want grid lines for "all other days", there are two options:

(a) Do not configure minor grid lines for all other days. (Remove that line.)

(b) Set the minor grid line color to Chart.Transparent (eg. using PlotArea.setGridColor).

Hope this can help.
