As I said, I have looked at the plug-ins listing at wowace, as well as all of the resources in the "User Guide". As I also said, none of them change between profiles and only one, that I could determine, came even close to providing what I was trying to do (use the same volume of screen-estate regardless of raid size....10-man=large units, 40-man=small units). Most have to do with customizing the arrangement of units into varying categories. nibAutoGridLayout is the only thing that comes close.

I honestly don't know the restrictions of the code, but I was suprised to not find an LDB plug-in which would allow quick switching between profiles, which I would assume is possible if you are suggesting that profile switching can be done with a macro.

I indeed tried to find the code necessary to do just that: use a macro to switch profiles. Unfortunately, the info about it wasn't in the User Guide, nor did I find any functions in the API that provide for profile switching, nor does the in-game command line for Grid provide any asisstance for it (at least not that I could coax out of it). Where can I find, other than by digging through the code in the add-on itself, a comprehensive listing of command-line instructions?

Does anyone have a good macro for rotating through add-on (or Grid specifically) profiles? Or for selecting a profile based on conditions (i.e. raid size or zone)? Or know of an add-on/plug-in that will automatically (or even quickly manually) select a Grid profile?
