Reference grids/graticules should be accessible to ArcPy.Mapping

Idea created by graeme on Apr 5, 2011

    I would like to be able to change the interval on a graticule (Data Frame Properties | Grids tab) using Python but there appears to be no access to that via the data frame properties.

    If it is not possible to open up the reference system (grid/graticule) properties to ArcPy, would it be possible to provde a way to make a grid/graticule not draw or remove it from the data frame properties programmatically instead?
