Suppress showing grid lines

I searched the docs and the bug database for clues how to suppress the showing of the grid lines in Excel. It seems that there are currently no plans to implements such a feature in POI.

However there is a function setGridsPrinted(boolean) in the class HSSFSheet and it's working fine, but only for printing the excel file.

In Excel one could deactivate the showing of the grid lines under Tools\Options\View by deactivating the checkbox named Gridlines. This setting is a property of a worksheet.

The question is if there is a plan to implement methods like setShowGridlines(boolean) and isShowGridlines() for the class HSSFSheet?
