                    horizontal grid lines, respectively. 0 (zero) means no
                    grid on this axis.

If you want a grid in the resulting spreadsheet, you can pass the --grid option, as follows:

Both values have to be specified. If you don't want grid lines on an axis just set this value to 0. Negative values are ignored.
