How to disable grid lines in OLAP Chart?

This article explains how to disable grid lines in a Syncfusion WPF OLAP Chart hosted inside an OLAP Client. By turning off grid lines on both the primary and secondary axes, you can achieve a cleaner and less cluttered chart appearance.

Disabling grid lines is useful when you want to focus attention on the data itself or align the chart with specific UI or design requirements.

Follow these steps to disable grid lines in the WPF OLAP Chart:

Step 1: Initialize the Chart and Attach the Loaded Event

Configure the OLAP Chart and attach the Loaded event so that grid line settings can be applied once the chart is fully rendered. For more information, refer this getting started documentation.

public MainWindow()
{
   InitializeComponent();
   this.olapChart.Loaded += OlapChart_Loaded;
} 

Public Sub New()
   InitializeComponent()
   AddHandler Me.olapChart.Loaded, AddressOf OlapChart_Loaded
End Sub 

Step 2: Disable Grid Lines on Chart Axes

In the Loaded event, disable grid lines for both the primary and secondary axes by setting the ShowGridLinesProperty to false.

void OlapChart_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   this.olapChart.Series[0].Area.PrimaryAxis
       .SetValue(ChartArea.ShowGridLinesProperty, false);

   this.olapChart.Series[0].Area.SecondaryAxis
       .SetValue(ChartArea.ShowGridLinesProperty, false);
} 

Private Sub OlapChart_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
 Me.olapChart.Series(0).Area.PrimaryAxis.SetValue(ChartArea.
       ShowGridLinesProperty,False)                                       
 Me.olapChart.Series(0).Area.SecondaryAxis.SetValue(ChartArea.
       ShowGridLinesProperty, False)
End Sub

Output
