Major and Minor Ticks / Gridlines

[Duivleo]

Is it possible to make major and/or minor Ticks and / Gridlines. (Similar to Excel)?

Leo,

You can add stripLines to achieve minor grids as shown in this JSFiddle.

Thank you Vishwas,

Your solution did work. I have applied to the Y-axis of my chart and it works fine.
(My Y-axis is numeric.)
I have tried it on the X=axis as well, but that did’t work.
X-axis is a dateTime=scale. (intervalType = “hour” and interval is 24.)
I want to get a minorgridline every 6th hour.

Is that possible?

Leo

Addition to previous message:
I found part of the solution: The minorGridInterval should be set at 21600000, which is 3600 x 6 x 1000.

Now I still have find a way how to let the minorGrid fall over the majorgrid. This is due to the fact that I calculate the start (minimum) as being “new Date() – 86400000 x 14” (14 is for last 14 days.)

Leo

Leo,

You can add minor-grids to axisX, when axisX is of date-time type, as shown in this JSFiddle.

Thanks Vishwas,

Your method is much more elegant than what I had.
