Print Graph Paper

 

How often have you wished you had an instant sheet of graph paper and couldn’t find any?  Well, here you can print out sheets of it to help aid you in mapping your travels.  Use the example display to custom-design your own sheet of graph paper.  All mapping configuration values are saved globally with Portal©.

 

Disclaimer: We really tried our best to make the example as true as possible for all printers, but there are some rogue printers out there that do not follow some standards.  If you find your sheets printing a bit differently that the example displays, simply play with the controls until you get the sheet of paper you desire.

 

 

Printer DPI           Set your printer resolution here (DPI = dots[pixels] per inch)

X Offset           Distance of grid from left margin 1=30 pixels, 2=60 pixels, etc.

Y Offset           Distance of grid from top margin 1=30 pixels, 2=60 pixels, etc.

#V Squares           Number of vertical squares to generate

#H Squares           Number of horizontal squares to generate

Pixels/Square           Width, in pixels, of each square

Grid Lines           Choose the grid lines you wish to print

                          * Checkerboard of vertical and horizontal lines

                          * Diagonal, 45 degree lines

                          * Skew lines of 30/60 degree angles

                          * Border lines outlining the grid

Pen Size           Line thickness for each grid line type

 

Note: Grid styles can be combined together.  A good example of this is selecting the grid lines of checkerboard, border and skew, all of pen size 1.  This is very nice for mapping a 3/4 view 3D area.
