- Grids.
-
- As an aid to positioning items in you image WinRIP Lite provides a "Grid"
- facility where an alignment grid will be drawn either over or underneath your
- drawing. This grid, similar to 'graph paper' can be an invalueable aid when
- exact positioning of items such as buttons and icons is required.
-
- A Grid Snap facility is not provided with version 1.00 of WinRIP Lite, but
- will be added in a later version.
-
-
- Grid Settings.
-
- Selecting this option from the pull down Edit menu will cause a small window
- to be displayed allowing you to specify the size of your grid and wether or
- not the grid is to be drawn 'under' or on 'top' of your image.
-
- The Width & Height fields specify how large the grid is to be, i.e. how far
- apart the 'rows' and 'columns' lines are to be drawn. Both the Height and the
- Width fields may contain values ranging from 5 to 64. The default grid size is
- 10 x 10.
-
- The checkbox 'Background' is used to inform WinRIP Lite on how the grid is to
- be drawn. If this box is 'checked' then the grid will be drawn prior to the
- drawing of your image. If 'unchecked', your image will be drawn first and then
- the grid 'superimposed' over the image.
-
- Grids are not stored as part of the image. Setting values in this window does
- not cause a grid to be drawn or redrawn if a grid is already present.
-
-
- Grid Toggle.
-
- This is a 'checked' menu item. This means that a 'tick' will be place next to
- it on the menu when it is active. This menu item actually causes a grid to be
- drawn, if when you 'click' on it it is not checked or will clear the grid from
- the drawing it it is 'checked' when you 'click' it.
