Chart.js v2 - hiding grid lines

Question

I am using Chart.js v2 to draw a simple line chart. Everything looks fine, except there are grid lines that I don\'t want:

The documentation for Line Chart

Answer 1

I found a solution that works for hiding the grid lines in a Line chart.

Set the gridLines color to be the same as the div's background color.

var options = {
    scales: {
        xAxes: [{
            gridLines: {
                color: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
            }
        }],
        yAxes: [{
            gridLines: {
                color: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
            }   
        }]
    }
}

or use

var options = {
    scales: {
        xAxes: [{
            gridLines: {
                display:false
            }
        }],
        yAxes: [{
            gridLines: {
                display:false
            }   
        }]
    }
}

Answer 2

options: {
    scales: {
        xAxes: [{
            gridLines: {
                drawOnChartArea: false
            }
        }],
        yAxes: [{
            gridLines: {
                drawOnChartArea: false
            }
        }]
    }
}

Answer 3

If you want them gone by default, you can set:

Chart.defaults.scale.gridLines.display = false;

Answer 4

The code below removes remove grid lines from chart area only not the ones in x&y axis labels

Chart.defaults.scale.gridLines.drawOnChartArea = false;

Answer 5

Please refer to the official documentation:

https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/axes/styling.html#grid-line-configuration

Below code changes would hide the gridLines:

        gridLines: {
            display:false
        }

Answer 6

If you want to hide gridlines but want to show yAxes, you can set:

yAxes: [{...
         gridLines: {
                        drawBorder: true,
                        display: false
                    }
       }]
