Showing the grid
Make the grid visible under View > Grid > Display Grid.
Alternatively turn the grid on and off with the icon on the Options
toolbar.
Configuring the grid
The color, spacing, and resolution of the grid points can be individually
chosen for each axis. The spacing between the lines is defined in the
Grid options dialog under the Drawing area of the OOo options (Tools
> Options > OpenOffice.org Draw > Grid).
Figure 166. Setting grid options
In the dialog shown in Figure 166, you can set the following
parameters:
• Vertical and horizontal spacing of the dots in the grid. You can
also change the unit of measurement used in the general Draw
options (Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Draw > General).
• The resolution is the size of the squares or rectangles in the grid.
If the resolution is Horizontal 1 cm, Vertical 2 cm, the grid
consists of rectangles 2 cm high and 1 cm wide.
• Subdivisions are additional points that appear along the sides of
each rectangle or square in the grid. Objects snap to subdivisions
as well as to the corners of the grid.
