Anyone know of a source on-line from which I can print grided paper?

I had a URL from way back, but it's gone :-(

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

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.

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

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
http://www.snapfiles.com/publishers/...uis/index.html. It
seems to have more types of graph paper designs than the one at the other
site. Both are super programs.

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

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, :-)

Ahhh... I see.

The way I do it, in AutoCAD, is to generate the grid, assign it to one
layer, and then insert the picture on another layer and scale it for the
best fit on the grid.

maybe you've got a graphics package that'll allow you to do something
similar?

That's good news.

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, :-)

JF

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

...Jim Thompson

Ahhh... I see.

The way I do it, in AutoCAD, is to generate the grid, assign it to one
layer, and then insert the picture on another layer and scale it for the
best fit on the grid.

maybe you've got a graphics package that'll allow you to do something
similar?

JF

Print grid on paper. Put printed grid paper into printer. Print picture.
No big graphic package needed that I can see.

If you use a graphics package to generate the printed grid, then you'll
need some way to scan the picture and scale it so that it'll print on
top of the grid correctly, which might be as simple as telling your
printer to scale the scan up or down to fit on an (say) "A" size sheet.

Tricky part there is adjusting for margins.

Another way could be as simple as putting the picture into the printer
and printing the grid on top of the picture, but you'd still have to
tell the printer how to scale the grid so everything would come out
right, so that's a "big graphics package" of sorts on both counts.

If you use a graphics package to generate the printed grid, then you'll
need some way to scan the picture and scale it so that it'll print on
top of the grid correctly, which might be as simple as telling your
printer to scale the scan up or down to fit on an (say) "A" size sheet.

When you place borders on the cells, and arrange them by pixels, you
can make a square grid, then define the print area, and then by margin
adjustment, and experimentation, you can make it print at the exact scale
you want/need it to be at. I do it, when I am making heat sink templates
for little Ghz RF amplifier modules. It allows me to make perfect
templates, then I can spec them on the drawing too, if one gets done.

Yep.

Excel would even allow pasting the image on top of the grid, then
sinking it beneath it.

I was thinking the free graphing software he has already downloaded for
the graph and the free photo crap software that comes with every $50
desktop multifunction printer / copier / tooth flosser. See - no big
(read expensive) software package involved and happy wife to boot (no in
the literal sense of the word!)

I don't know if this is of interest, but there are a couple of programs
specifically designed for this sort of thing. They can import photos and
convert them into cross-stitch designs. You can also simply cross-stitch
on screen, using whatever makes of thread that you want. Then it just
prints out your pattern with all the little symbols on it. Not always
cheap, and not everyone likes them, but if she has a computer, there are
free demos to play with (they usually won't save).

Jane Greenoff's Cross Stitch Designer - cheap n cheerful at 8 quid

There are a couple of others but not at 8 quid!
