Public ReadOnly Property LineStyle As LineStyle
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| LineStyle |
A LineStyle object that contains line style settings.
|
The LineStyle property provides access to the style settings of the major grid lines of an axis. These settings allow you to customize the line width and line dash style.
Note that the major grid lines are displayed when the GridLines.Visible property is set to true.
The style settings of the minor grid lines can be customized via the GridLines.MinorLineStyle property.
For more information, refer to Grid Lines, Tickmarks and Interlacing.
This example demonstrates how the grid lines and tickmarks of an axis can be customized at runtime.
To access an axis, you should cast your chart’s diagram object to the required diagram type. Then, use the Axis2D.Tickmarks and AxisBase.GridLines properties to access the corresponding elements. To define the number of minor tickmarks (grid lines), use the AxisBase.MinorCount property.
// Cast the chart's diagram to the XYDiagram type, to access its axes.
XYDiagram diagram = (XYDiagram)chartControl1.Diagram;
// Customize the appearance of the axes' tickmarks.
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.CrossAxis = true;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Length = 5;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Thickness = 2;
diagram.AxisY.Tickmarks.Visible = false;
diagram.AxisY.Tickmarks.MinorVisible = false;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.MinorLength = 3;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.MinorThickness = 1;
diagram.AxisX.MinorCount = 2;
diagram.AxisY.MinorCount = 4;

diagram.AxisX.GridLines.Visible = false;
diagram.AxisX.GridLines.MinorVisible = false;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.Visible = true;

diagram.AxisY.GridLines.LineStyle.Thickness = 2;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.MinorColor = Color.Blue;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.MinorLineStyle.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;
diagram.AxisY.GridLines.MinorLineStyle.Thickness = 1;
