Hello,
Thanks for contacting us with your question!
Unfortunately, the API does not allow you to easily disable these lines. If you really care about it, you can do it with a wrap workaround, as in the demo below.
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/9anjv6rL/
If you would like to add that option to become a feature, you can request it in our official GitHub repository.

I hope you will find it useful
Best regards!
