Both the igGrid and igHierarchicalGrid controls feature column hiding in the grid. The column hiding feature allows users to remove and restore columns from the visible layout of the grid. Further information regarding the classes, options, events, methods and themes of this API are available under the associated tabs above.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the igGrid control.
