[Chartjs]-How to remove the unnecessary overlaying gridlines using Chart.js?

1👍

You can use the following chart plugin to remove those unnecessary overlaying lines :

Chart.plugins.register({
   beforeDraw: function(chart) {
      var ctx = chart.chart.ctx,
         x_axis = chart.scales['x-axis-0'],
         topY = chart.scales['y-axis-0'].top,
         bottomY = chart.scales['y-axis-0'].bottom;
      x_axis.options.gridLines.display = false;
      x_axis.ticks.forEach(function(label, index) {
         var x = x_axis.getPixelForValue(label);
         ctx.save();
         ctx.beginPath();
         ctx.moveTo(x, topY);
         ctx.lineTo(x, bottomY);
         ctx.lineWidth = 1;
         ctx.strokeStyle = x_axis.options.gridLines.color;
         ctx.stroke();
         ctx.restore();
      });
   }
});
