# Gutters

## Horizontal Gutters

Horizontal Gutters are the vertical space between rows, and it has **3 pixels** of height. The DikeGrid definition always draws a line of one-pixel width at the center of this vertical space.

{% hint style="info" %}
Neither the vertical space nor the horizontal line is customizable in size.
{% endhint %}

## Vertical Gutters

Vertical Gutters are the horizontal space between columns. By default, Vertical Gutters have **5 pixels** in width. 

You can provide an input flag called <mark style="color:orange;">`verticalRowLines`</mark> to the DikeGrid, and it could draw a line of one-pixel width at the center of this horizontal space.

{% hint style="info" %}
Neither the horizontal space nor the vertical line is customizable in size.
{% endhint %}

Let us bind the related property from the `gridProperties` object to display the vertical lines per row.&#x20;

{% code title="grid-structure.component.html" %}

```markup
<dike-grid id="grid-structure"
    [verticalRowLines]="gridProperties.verticalRowLines">
</dike-grid>
```

{% endcode %}

Now, open the [Floating Configuration Panel](/overview.md#floating-configuration-panel), go to the **Appearance** section, and enable the **Vertical Row Lines** checkbox.

You can see the vertical lines per row in the following screenshot.

### Who does the Vertical Gutters own?

By definition, columns own the Vertical Gutters:

1. Columns in the left, center or group panels own the right-gutter. Only the first visible column holds the left-gutter as well.
2. Columns in the right panel own the left-gutter. Only the last visible column holds the right-gutter as well.

{% hint style="info" %}
Vertical Gutter owning is important for **resizing** and **dragging** purposes.
{% endhint %}
