Hide top axis in Altair

Question

I would like to hide the top and right axis (gray lines) in altair.

import pandas as pd
import altair as alt
budget = pd.read_csv("https://github.com/chris1610/pbpython/raw/master/data/mn-budget-detail-2014.csv")
budget_top_10 = budget.sort_values(by='amount',ascending=False)[:10]

alt.Chart(budget_top_10).mark_bar().encode(
    x='detail', 
    y='amount').configure_axis(
    grid=False
)

The documentation points to a .configure_axisTop() command but adding it to my code and changing its arguments seems to make no difference.

Source of the data.

It's hard to tell, but that is not part of the grid or axis, but part of the view. You can hide it using configure_view(strokeOpacity=0):

import pandas as pd
import altair as alt
budget = pd.read_csv("https://github.com/chris1610/pbpython/raw/master/data/mn-budget-detail-2014.csv")
budget_top_10 = budget.sort_values(by='amount',ascending=False)[:10]

alt.Chart(budget_top_10).mark_bar().encode(
    x='detail', 
    y='amount'
).configure_view(
    strokeOpacity=0
)
