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.
Resets
the mapping configuration to the default, standard-sized checkerboard style.
Prints
the sheet of graph paper you have currently designed.
Saves
the current configuration settings for the mapper and closes the screen.
Closes
the Mapper without saving any configuration changes.
