Hello, could somebody explain me the purpose of the two different grids "page grid" and "baseline grid" and how "snap to grid" works? I am using scribus 1.3.3.7.
First of all, I find it confusing that there are two grids, but only one "snap to grid". If I enable "snap to grid", to which grid does it snap? To both at the same time? Second, even if I show both grids, it seems to me that "snap to grid" snaps to locations on neither grid. Consider the following use case: I want to produce a page with a checkerboard of black and white squares, each 1in x 1in. I would assume that I set up a page grid with major grid spacing of 1in, enable "snap to grid", and then can draw square shapes that align perfectly with the grid. However, that doesn't seem to be possible. I can get the upper left corner of a square shape to align with the grid, but the lower right corner usually falls onto a location that is not on the page grid (and neither on the baseline grid, as far as I can tell). Alternatively, I can get the lower right corner to align with the grid, and then the upper left doesn't. What is going on here? The attached screenshot shows how I can create a square that is either smaller or larger than my unit grid cell, but none with the correct size. Thanks for any help, Claus -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
