Grid visibility
The visible property defines the global grid visibility: a grid is visible when either minor or major grid lines are visible. The visibility of the major and minor grid lines is described by the majorLineVisible and minorLineVisible properties, respectively. By default, only major grid lines are visible.
Drawing order
As for all the decorations, you can control the drawing order of the grids with respect to the charts representation and to other decorations. This drawing order is defined by the drawOrder property. For more information on ordering decorations see Decorations.
Default grid line color
The grid lines are drawn by default according to the value of the defaultGridColor property. This is a property of the IlvGrid class (static) and can be easily changed to set the default grid lines rendering styles.
