- When building a diagram based on a set of standard widgets, it helps a
- lot if you (1) set a relatively fine snap-grid, say 3.0pt, and (2) size
- all of your widgets to multiples of your snap-grid spacing.
-
- We did this to make "railroad diagrams" for program syntax (which must
- be similar to making a circuit diagram), and it is wonderful how easily
- the different pieces snap together with perfect alignment.
