I just saw that a very typical sheet used a lot in Germany is missing in your awesome offering: Millimeterpapier, i.e. a 1mm grid with slighty thicker lines every 10 mm, in a reddish hue, as can bee seen here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;de.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Millimeterpapier" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;de.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Millimeterpapier</a> - but from there I noticed that on Wikipedia there is already a ton of these PDFs as samples!

I like this a lot. Curiously, it&#x27;s useless for what I use graph paper for.<p>I&#x27;ll describe my idealized graph paper -- similar to what I made myself in a drawing program, but with several improvements taken from browsing these and seeing things done better than I did:<p>- Coarse centimeter line grid<p>- Fine millimeter dot grid<p>- Optionally, a thicker line occasionally (e.g. every 4-5cm), or better yet, a cross-grid.<p>- A rectangle in the bottom right where I can place a label<p>Grid should go edge-to-edge (with a bit of bleed in the design).<p>I&#x27;m not saying that&#x27;s anybody else&#x27;s ideal. That&#x27;s ideal for what I do. There is no &quot;best,&quot; but there is &quot;suitability to purpose&quot; combined with &quot;what one is used to.&quot;<p>I think the way to do this would be the same webapp, but where it&#x27;s possible to overlay several of these on top of each other. Multiweight and multicolor should be a combination of a pair of single weight &#x2F; single color.<p>The way to do a lot of this, by the way, is in PostScript programming.<p>Footnote: Reading more of the web site, this guy is clearly awesome.

I wrote something like this to generate ruling sheets for calligraphy at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;calligraffiti.in&#x2F;rulings" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;calligraffiti.in&#x2F;rulings</a>.<p>I had to learn a little about PDF generation to write and this and that translated into a project which gave me enough money to keep me afloat during an especially dry period during covid.

Come for the graph paper, stay for the snark. Go to the Grid Dots page[0], and...<p><i>I&#x27;m going to guess you&#x27;re really into pens. Not an unhealthy amount... but more than most.</i><p>It&#x27;s like the web page sees into my mind!<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;incompetech.com&#x2F;graphpaper&#x2F;squaredots&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;incompetech.com&#x2F;graphpaper&#x2F;squaredots&#x2F;</a>

I was expecting an interactive document instead of printable templates

I wonder why the dotted paper is not more common. If I go into a shop all I get is either lined, or squares.

Back in the day, you had to beg the parent you had that had access to a photocopier at work to make copies for you from your special best &#x27;reserved for replication&#x27; original, because if you used your last one you couldn&#x27;t make more.

His music is even better. I wish he supported other payment than Paypal, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Very nice offering. Only suggestion for improvement would be a live preview when editing the parameters.

The „perspective“ lines are awesome for drawing.

need to be wary of the printer&#x27;s printing resolution. My hp 400 is not printing all lines of some types of grid papers...

I was hoping to find isometric grid for some technical drafting nostalgia but they only have 45 degree
