Program Description:

I think everyone on the planet has needed 'Graph Paper', at least once in their life.
This program was created out of one of these moments...

It's an otherwise peaceful day, and then for some reason...

"I need GRAPH PAPER?"

"Nope, none in the house..."

"Just what is this going to cost me for the 2 pieces I need, and how much gas will I waste driving all over the city looking for it?", were the first thoughts that came to mind.

But on that occasion, instead of just grabbing the car keys, I sat down for a few hours and put together a very simple program that draws lines to the Printer, and just made the stupid graph paper ;).

Sure, the drive may have been quicker in the short run, but now I have graph paper for life!

Of course, while I was at it, I couldn't help adding options for printing 'Kindergarten', Notebook, Polar, and Ledger papers too!

Program Toolbar: 

New - Create a New paper, based on the currently selected paper.
Portrait - Make the current paper Portrait.
Landscape - Make the current paper Landscape.
Preview - Preview the current Paper. (HINT - Click anywhere on the Preview to Close it).
Print - Print the Current Paper.
Calculator - Run the Windows Calculator program (e.g. if you need to convert metric to decimal inches).
Show Tips (Toggle) - Display Input/Printing Tips at the bottom of the dialog.

Select a File from the Paper List

To create your own papers...

1. Select a paper of the same type (e.g. Notebook) that's similar to the paper you want to create.
2. Click the 'New' Toolbar button.
3. The following input dialog will be displayed...
   
4. Enter a new Name for your Paper (e.g. 'My Default Notebook')
5. Click the OK button.
6. Modify the Y and/or X Spacings, Margins, etc.
   

Spacings, Margins, etc.

Enter All Spacing in 'Decimal Inches'.
For example: 0.2500 = 1/4", 0.3750 = 3/8", and 0.5000 = 1/2".

Grid Input Example

Grids may have the same (1" x 1") or different (1" x 2") X and Y Spacings.
When the 'Sync X and Y Spacing' checkbox is checked, changing a value in a Spacing textbox, will automatically update the other textbox to the same value.
Uncheck this checkbox to allow for different X and Y Spacings (e.g. 1" x 2").
