AstroGridLinesStyle
is an option for AstroGraphics that specifies how coordinate grid lines should be rendered.
Details

- AstroGridLinesStylestyle specifies that all astro grid lines should be rendered by default with the specified style.
- AstroGridLinesStyle{style1,style2} specifies separate styles for the lines of constant first coordinate (generally a longitude angle like right ascension or azimuth) and the lines of constant second coordinate (generally a latitude angle like declination or altitude).
- Styles can be specified using graphics directives such as Thick, Red and Dashed, as well as Thickness, RGBColor, Dashing and combinations given by Directive.
- Explicit styles specified in the settings for AstroGridLines can override styles specified in AstroGridLinesStyle.
- AbsoluteOptions can be used to extract explicit styles that were used for AstroGridLines with Automatic settings.
