Surface plots and grid removal

Surface plots and grid removal

Surface plots and grid removal

(OP)
Using surface plot to create a 2D contour from a rectangular grid of data, I find that even though no grid lines are specified, the chart includes a grid, or black outline, for each cell of data. How do you remove the black outlines so as to leave just continuous colour?

RE: Surface plots and grid removal

I was going to suggest the obvious:
right-click / chart options / Gridlines tab - uncheck everything.

But I tried it and it doesn't work.   Hmmm.

RE: Surface plots and grid removal

There is a way.  It's just one of those weird excel things:

In order to get the vba procedure to work on my chart, I had to comment out the line
If ActiveChart.ChartType <> xlSurface Then Exit Sub

I found out my chart was type 85. xlsurface is type 83.  The code worked fine once that line was removed.
