Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.10.13-1
Severity: normal

I'm trying to work out how to add grid lines to a chart background.
The manual section 10.4.1 is entitled 'Background Panels: Graphs,
Charts, Grids' but no documentation of grids is to be found. Has this
feature been removed?

Ben.

After you created the chart open the chart properties dialogue. Then
select an axis and click on add. You can add Major or minor grid lines
for that axis. Repeat wit hthe otehr axis if you want gridlines in both
direction.

Someday somebody might improve the documentation.

Yes, that works, thanks.

Welll, you can treat this bug report as a request to do so.
