Print Grided Paper On-line

Here's a great little program that wilol print almost any kind of graph paper you're ever likely to need. I've used it for many years.

Doesn't seem to like XP :-( ...Jim Thompson

Got it... my system didn't try RAR extraction on its own.

Thanks! ...Jim Thompson

Jim, Just to make sure that the URL to that program was still valid, I downloaded and tried to install. Apparently, the file at that URL is corrupt, However, I have an uncorrupted copy of the file. If you're interested, I can email it to you. It's only 384K.

I have GPaper too and was going to suggest it to Jim, but then I couldn't decide whether he was asking for such a utility or for an on-line service where he can order them printed. :-)

It appears to be a self-extracting archive that doesn't self extract on XP (missing DLL?). WinZip couldn't get into it either but WinRAR was able to successfully.

Yep, you're right... I didn't realize that it was RARed. The copy that I have is a self-extracting Zip file.

While investigating the problem, I found a later version at

Yep. Got it. ...Jim Thompson

Got it. It was a RAR, which my system didn't recognize as such. ...Jim Thompson

OK. Got that version! Thanks!

Now I have to figure out how to grid 14 to the inch... the wife has cabin fever because of restricted movement due to her fall, and has decided to do some needlepoint on 14 to the inch fabric :-) ...Jim Thompson

Here's one.

Jim, If you select the Rectangular grid, then select Custom Graduations, you can specify the apace between light lines. For 14 lines per inch, that would, of course, be 0.0714. That looks pretty good when I print a page

Thanks, Dave! I hadn't figured that out yet :-) ...Jim Thompson

--- Remember the old way?

Draw your 1" grid lines on a piece of paper, then lay a scale between two of them, slanted, so that 0" is on line and 1-3/4" on the other.

Then place dots on the paper at the 1/8" graduation points on the scale, and the 1" space will be divided into 14 equal increments.

Repeat as required to make sure you get parallel lines in both planes and then Voila! Once you've drawn lines through the proper points, you've got a 14 X 14 lines to the inch grid.

Well, not _quite_ Voila!, but it'll get you there in a low-tech way, :-)

How is she doing?

I _can_ draw :-) My problem is to merge a picture onto a grid. ...Jim Thompson

She's improving. She's sitting across the desk from me right now... been sitting there for 30 minutes, finally giving up. ...Jim Thompson
