Remarks

The AutoGrid property is tightly interrelated with the QualitativeScaleOptions.GridSpacing and QualitativeScaleOptions.GridOffset properties. Changing the value of one property affects the other. By default, the AutoGrid property is set to true and the grid line spacing is calculated automatically.

The following images demonstrate how the AutoGrid property works.

AutoGrid = true;	AutoGrid = false; GridSpacing = 4;

Note that if you need to define a custom grid interval, set the AutoGrid property to false, then change the value of the QualitativeScaleOptions.GridSpacing or QualitativeScaleOptions.GridOffset property.
