HOW TO
A graticule shows latitude and longitude lines on a map. When a graticule is built, vertices are added at one degree intervals, by default. This is to allow the graticule lines to bend to better fit the curvature of the graticule. In some cases, such as large scale maps or precise data, the amount of densification may need to be increased to better fit the graticule to the data.
