Just what I was looking for to get my UI elements placed in correct position. Thanks!

could u have changed the TOC to 30100? I'm one of those who don't like to click on "Load Out of Date Addons" :P

I was going to request that an LDB panel button launcher be added for quick click access to the grid and config panels of GraphPaper.

But then I decided it might be a decent starter project for me. So, if anyone is interested and wants a clicky button for GraphPaper, you may try out GraphPaper LDB found under the Optional Files tab here at the GraphPaper portal, or on it's own page here:

GraphPaper LDB

Surprisingly, it works on my system. I would be more than surprised if it worked on other people's systems.

I am working on a new ui and this definitely helped a ton. THANK YOU!

On a side note would you be up for a lib data broker plugin for gpaper or is there one already out there? (I haven't been able to find one yet)

Actually there's a Lua error with 1.3 apparently relating to localization. Here's the ~!Swatter log:

The same error occurs for each of the locales (Edited: Except for my locale - enUS), but I don't include each log entry as it's repetitive.

I tried wrapping each non-enUS block of translations with L={ ... } like we see it done in enUS.lua, but that created a different error. Removing the commas at the ends of each line of translation text eliminated the errors - but I have no way of checking whether or not that breaks the translations in some way. Deleting all the non-enUS also 'fixes' the issue, but that doesn't help the localization requirement too much.

First, thank you for this addon. I was using Align, but this one is so much more versatile.

There's one small suggestion I have.

I was wondering if you could add a /gp that would be the same as typing /graphpaper. Every time I want to show the lines I have to type "/graphpaper show" then "/graphpaper hide" but if you added the /gp that would be awesome!

Nice work on this mod

I'm getting this error since the latest upgrade.

Thanks!

This addon is s avery nice idea!! Thank you very much... I have fiddled so often with perfect alignment... It might save me hours for playing instead of configuring

The documentation for Align isn't so dense that I'd missed the command line switches. However, since you responded indicating that it should work, I decided to test it again and trace through the lua.

The issue I had is that subsequent entries of /align ignore the argument, so when I'd run /align to run it, followed by (for example) /align 64, that just toggled the grid off instead of creating a 64-square wide grid. If I enter /align 64 a second time, it toggles back on with the expected grid. If I edit it, I'll make it so it only toggles off with /align (nil), and otherwise creates a new grid with /align (arg). Thanks.

[Edited: And, yes, thanks for adding in the new option to GP. Playing around with it now.]

Not that it makes much of a difference, but why don't you give /align 64 a try and see what happens in Align (also works with any value in increments of 32 up till 256)

One difference is that Align does not display a grid at all when selecting a grid size other than the default value (32) on my display (a resolution of 1680x1050).

Suggestions for Graphpaper improvements:
* Disconnect the center line from the rest of the grid. If you change the centerline thickness value from the default (thickest) to another value (e.g, thinnest) you'll see that it moves the grid spacing when it probably shouldn't. The 'fix' option might help - but it is imprecise (because it depends upon the human Mark II Eyeball to determine whether you've created a grid that is perfectly symmetrical).

* Change the slider control for grid spacing so that it displays a numerical value and/or provide an input box so that you can set the value by hand. It's helpful to know the size of a grid square, so that you can ensure you're setting up a grid that divides evenly for a given display resolution. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing the ability to set X axis grid values independently of y-axis grid values, since no monitor in common usage has a 1:1 aspect ratio, meaning it would be (potentially) more useful to be able to setup a grid of rectangles, as opposed to a grid of perfect squares.
