Gridlines are the pattern of lines drawn behind the diagram elements. It provides a visual guidance while dragging or arranging the objects on the diagram surface.
The model’s snapSettings property is used to customize the gridlines and control the snapping behavior in the diagram.
The snapSettings.snapConstraints enables you to show/hide the gridlines. The following code example illustrates how to show or hide gridlines.
If you need to enable snapping, then inject snapping module into the diagram.
import { Component, ViewEncapsulation, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { DiagramComponent, SnapSettingsModel, SnapConstraints } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-diagrams';
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
// specifies the template string for the diagram component
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" [snapSettings]='snapSettings'></ejs-diagram>`
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public snapSettings: SnapSettingsModel = {
// Display both Horizontal and Vertical gridlines
constraints: SnapConstraints.ShowLines
};

export class AppModule { }import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);To show only horizontal/vertical gridlines or to hide gridlines, refer to Constraints.
The appearance of the gridlines can be customized by using a set of predefined properties.
horizontalGridLines and the verticalGridLines properties allow to customize the appearance of the horizontal and vertical gridlines respectively.lineColor and lineDashArray properties are used to customizes the line color and line style of the horizontal gridlines.lineColor and lineDashArray properties are used to customizes the line color and line style of the vertical gridlines.The following code example illustrates how to customize the appearance of gridlines.
import { Component, ViewEncapsulation, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { DiagramComponent, SnapSettingsModel, SnapConstraints, NodeModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-diagrams';
@Component({

// specifies the template string for the diagram component

})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public snapSettings: SnapSettingsModel = {
// Define the Constraints for gridlines and snapping
constraints: SnapConstraints.ShowLines,
// Defines the horizontalGridlines for SnapSettings
horizontalGridlines: {
// Sets the line color of gridlines
lineColor: 'blue',
// Defines the lineDashArray of gridlines
lineDashArray: '2 2'
},
// Defines the verticalGridlines for SnapSettings
verticalGridlines: {
lineColor: 'blue',
lineDashArray: '2 2'
}

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);Thickness and the space between gridlines can be customized by using horizontal gridlines’s linesInterval and vertical gridlines’s linesInterval properties. In the lines interval collections, values at the odd places are referred as the thickness of lines and values at the even places are referred as the space between gridlines.
The following code example illustrates how to customize the thickness of lines and the line intervals.

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);This feature allows the diagram objects to snap to the nearest intersection of gridlines while being dragged or resized. This feature enables easier alignment during layout or design.
Snapping to gridlines can be enabled/disabled with the snapSettings.snapConstraints. The following code example illustrates how to enable/disable the snapping to gridlines.

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);The snap to object provides visual cues to assist with aligning and spacing diagram elements. A node can be snapped with its neighboring objects based on certain alignments. Such alignments are visually represented as smart guides.
The snapObjectDistance property allows you to define minimum distance between the selected object and the nearest object.
The snapAngle property allows you to define the snap angle by which the object needs to be rotated.
The snapConstraints property allows you to enable or disable the certain features of the snapping, refer to snapConstraints.
The snapLineColor property allows you to define the color of the snapline.
