Appeareance

Line style
Intersections (dots)

This style, the least obtrusive, shows a simple dot at each intersection of grid lines.

Intersections (crosshairs)

This style, the default, shows a plus-shaped crosshair at each intersection of grid lines.

Dashed

This style shows dashed lines in the designated foreground color. It probably won't look good if the grid line spacing is small.

Double dashed

This style shows dashed lines alternating the designated foreground and background colors.

Solid

This style shows solid grid lines in the designated foreground color.

Fore- and Back-ground colors

Click on on the color dwell to select a new color for the grid.

You can fix cell size of the grid and select the unit of measurement.
