# yAxis.gridLineWidth

The width of the grid lines extending the ticks across the plot area. Defaults to 1 on the Y axis and 0 on the X axis, except for 3d charts and gauges.

In gauges, the grid lines are limited to the pane's `size` and `innerSize`.

In styled mode, the stroke width is given in the `.highcharts-grid-line` class.
