Adding gridlines to a `Chart` instance

Gridlines can be used to make a chart more readable. You can add gridlines to a chart with the `horizontalGridlines` and `verticalGridlines` attributes. There are 2 ways to add gridlines to a chart. Setting either attribute to `true` will add gridlines with default styling. Alternatively, you can pass a style object to either attribute. The `styles` object of a gridline contains the line property with color, alpha and weight attributes.
