Grid in drawing

Question

Hello,
i am testing Pages as a AppleWorks user. Where is in Pages the menu to make a grid of for example 1mm (rastering). This would be very helpfull when working with drawing objects.
Thanks

I haven't checked your code but this class creates a dynamically sized grid for a chess board or whatever - hope this is what you're after, ie: the algorithms for your grid drawing. Run it with appletviewer and drag the corners and you'll see it auto resize.import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Gridder extends Applet{
   public void init(){}
   public void paint(Graphics g){
      int x = getWidth()/8;
      int y = getHeight()/8;
      int Xx=0, Yy=0;
         for(int ii=0; ii<8; ii++){
            for(int jj=0; jj<8; jj++){
               if((ii+jj) % 2 ==0) g.setColor(Color.gray);
               else g.setColor(Color.lightGray);
               g.fillRect(Xx,Yy,x,y);
               Xx+=x;
         Xx=0;
         Yy+=y;
      Xx=0;
      Yy=0;
      g.setColor(Color.white);
         for(int ii=0; ii<9; ii++){
            g.drawLine(Xx,0,Xx,getHeight());
            g.drawLine(0,Yy,getWidth(),Yy);
            Xx +=x;
            Yy +=y;
}
