How to change diagram gridlines as dotted lines in Angular Diagram?

This article explains how to change diagram gridlines to dotted lines in an Angular diagram. Gridlines are a pattern of lines drawn behind the Angular Diagram elements, providing visual guidance while dragging or arranging objects on the diagram surface. The snapSettings property is used to customize the gridlines and control the snapping behavior in the diagram. By specifying the gridType as “Dots,” you can render the diagram gridlines as dots.

The horizontalGridLines and the verticalGridLines properties allow you to customize the appearance of the horizontal and vertical gridlines, respectively. The lineColor and lineDashArray properties are used to customize the line color and line style of the gridlines. The dotIntervals property specifies the interval between the gridlines. With the help of the code snippet below, you can change the gridlines to dotted lines.

app.component.html

<ejs-diagram
 #diagram
 id="diagram"
 width="100%"
 height="700px"
 [snapSettings]="snapSettings"
>
</ejs-diagram>

app.component.ts

 public snapSettings: SnapSettingsModel = {
   horizontalGridlines: {  lineColor: 'black',
   dotIntervals: [1.5, 20, 1.5, 20, 1.5, 20, 1.5, 20, 1.5, 20]},
   verticalGridlines: {  dotIntervals: [1.5, 20, 1.5, 20, 1.5, 20] },
   gridType: 'Dots'
 };
