lifehacker.com: Gridzzly is a beautifully simple tool for anyone who uses grid, graph, or ruled paper. The webapp lets you fine-tune the pattern you need for printing.

Gridzzly seams like a very useful website for those to who grid paper a lot and need to print some off at different sizes. Although its a cool feature there really isn't too much more to say about it. I visited the website and its actually not as useful as I thought it was going to be. There are only a few options including, three types of dot patterns, horizontal lines, grid, and hexagon grid. The website claims to say, "couldn't be easier to use," but the ruler isn't even helpful, for there is no numbers or way of telling how much of a gap is between lines. When using the horizontal line feature, the horizontal ruler feature is useless because the spacing runs vertically. Overall its not that great, but at least its a free feature.
This is really very useful. I would find many uses for this, if I could calibrate the grid to a real dimension, and if I could print it in different sizes.
I find that I just end up making graph paper in a CAD program, as its much more flexible.
I have a graph paper app called, well actually, GraphPaper. It allows for bolding and for designing polar grids.
I wonder if this could be used to easily lay over an image for very accurate cartooning of a drop?
I've actually been using this for a month or so. It's not very hard to make your own dot paper in auto cad, but sometimes its nice to have a pre build system for paper types. I really really enjoy using dot paper. It is by far the best type of paper. I don't know why it is so hard to find dot paper to buy. There are only a couple of places you can buy it and in very limited sizes. So making dot paper for one's self is sorta required.
I don't use hexes as often as I would like to, but I have a friend who needs to draft in isometric views and he says that hex dot paper is very useful for that.
I think that is is hysterical! However, I definitely see how this could be very useful. I could see myself using a product like this in my drafting notebook for when Dick is explaining concepts. This would allow me to easily draw along with him without setting up bumbwad and all the other stuff. The one question I do have to ask now is, what is going to happen to old school graph paper?
