# chart.alignTicks

When using multiple axes, the ticks of two or more opposite axes will automatically be aligned by adding ticks to the axis or axes with the least ticks, as if `tickAmount` were specified.

This can be prevented by setting `alignTicks` to false. If the grid lines look messy, it's a good idea to hide them for the secondary axis by setting `gridLineWidth` to 0.

If `startOnTick` or `endOnTick` in the axis options are set to false, then the `alignTicks` will be disabled for the axis.

Disabled for logarithmic axes.
