PRINTING THE GRID

Is there some easy way to print the guide grids?
Thanks,
J

One more question....
If I want to make a large calendar grid using this method, how can I control where the gridlines will be on the page?
I've tried this before and I can never seem to control it - it makes no difference whether I used the pulldown menu to have it start at the top of page or top of margin.
The only things I've been able to control is the distance between lines, but I've never figured out how to dictate where they begin.
Is there something I'm missing or is this just not possible?
Thanks.

Printing the grid used in creating a PSE 10 drawing

Hello,
I have created a scaled floor plan dwng using the grid in PSE 10. It would be very useful to me to be able to print the grid directly with my drawing - preferably as a semi-opaque 'background'.
Can this be done?
Thanks,
Dan

1. Add a blank layer and fill with white.
2. Activate the grid on the white layer.
3. Take a screenshot of the grid and place it in a new layer. Use the Move tool to resize this layer so that the grid matches the original.
4. Delete or turn off the visibility of the white layer.
5. Change the Blend mode of the grid layer to Multiply.
Note: you can use the PrtSct key for the screenshot but there are utilities where you can draw out the precise region. I use Winsnap: http://www.ntwind.com/
For another method check out msg#2 at

How do I Print The Grid in Adobe Photoshop?

Hi there.
How do I Print The Grid in Adobe Photoshop?
Thanks

You should understand that one normally would not want to print guides (which is what you make by dragging from the rulers) -- that's an all or nothing setting and you might have other guides you wouldn't want in print.You also have no control over the weight of the line in a guide.
It's pretty easy to create a real grid by using ID's drawing tools to make a line segment and then using Step and Repeat to clone it across the page.

Problems printing a grid

Hi,
I'm trying to print a 1mm X 1mm grid in a paper.
I'm using Java2D to print the lines. This is the code snippet which draws the lines:
     /** Pixels/millimeter ratio */
     public final static double PRINT_PIXELS_PER_MILLIMETER = (72.00 / 25.40);
          g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(0.3f));
          int counter = 0;
          for (double x=bounds.x;x<=bounds.x + bounds.width;x+=PRINT_PIXELS_PER_MILLIMETER) {
               g2d.setColor(((counter % 5 == 0) ? Color.GRAY : Color.LIGHT_GRAY));
               g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(x,bounds.y,x,bounds.y + bounds.height));
               counter++;
          counter = 0;
          for (double y=bounds.y;y<=bounds.y + bounds.height;y+=PRINT_PIXELS_PER_MILLIMETER) {
               g2d.setColor(((counter % 5 == 0) ? Color.GRAY : Color.LIGHT_GRAY));
               g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(bounds.x,y,bounds.x + bounds.width,y));
               counter++;
          }The grid prints OK into ink printers, but when I try to print the grid in laser printers, some lines appear greater than others and the grid appears visually antiesthetic.
I've tried to do it with a background image. The problem I have is if I create the image at 72dpi, the grid paints ok but the lines are too thick. Then I created a 300dpi image and draw it, but then the grid lines were drawn too separated the ones from the others (a lot more than 1mm). If I re-scale the 300dpi image in the paint routine, then I have the same problems than when I was drawing the lines.
By the way, the laser printer has more than enough resolution to paint the 300dpi grid correctly. If I print the image directly from photoshop, it is printed perfectly with 1mm separation b/w lines.
Anyone knows how can I solve that?

When I have a border around a group of cellsand remove it, it also removes the grid lines. When I go to print the sheet, there are blank spaces where the border had been. I'm sing a MacBook.

When I have a border around a group of cell, how do I remove it. If I outline the cells again and then show in the Inspector NO BORDER, it removes not only the borderbut when I go to print it also the grid lines.

How to print the data in the grid?

Hi all,
I'm new to java. So, I need some helps.
I want to print the data in the grid. Data could be more than one page. But I have no idea how to start writing code.
Please let me know if you know.
Thank you.
DT.

Follow this steps.
1- the Grid which you wish to print must locate in a class which implements Printable() interface.
e.g.
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.infobus.*;
public class myGridControl extends GridControl implements Printable{
// add the following statements in the definition section of your class
int m_maxNumPage =1;
JTable m_table;
TableModel m_tableModel;
ScrollableRowsetAccess myRs;
// add the folowing statemnts in the
//constructor or init method or start method
//(Notice:if you couldn't print, possible
//you didn't put these stetment on the right
//location and one or all of them
//are "null".change the location and make
//sure they are not null when you issue a
//print order)
m_table = new JTable();
m_table = masterGrid.getTable();
m_tableModel = m_table.getModel();
myRs = (ScrollableRowsetAccess)masterGrid.getDataItem();
3- add following methods to your class(myGridControl). just cut and paste.
// Print Methods
public void printData() {

4- execute printData() method to print.
e.g. myGridControl.printData();
let me know if you still cannot print.

How do I get the Grid lines to show on the printed sheet in numbers?

When I print out a page from Numbers the Grid lines do not appear. What do I need to do to correct this?

Add them in using the border formatting tool. select the table:
Then open the formatter:
Now do the following:
1) select the border style
2) select the border weight
3) select the border color
4) select which borders

Cannot print without the GRID showing thru...

Apparently there is no way to print an imported Excel Sheet without the GRID.
Every sheet is imported as a single table with it's GRID showing up as a visible border. Simply, it does not recognize the difference between a GRID and a BORDER.
The only way to get rid of the GRID, is to completely reformat the document by taking out all BORDERS and applying new ones.
That will not work! No one is going to spend time reformatting a document that works perfectly in Excel.
Until this is solved, Numbers will seldom be used.

I have a 20 tab excel workbook with several printed pages on each tab that I work with regularly. It has many text boxes, borders thicknesses,and hatches. It imports just fine into numbers with a little tweeking of content scale to get it to print one page wide. I tried cahnging the color of the cell borders to white and cell borders to none. Guess what? It takes out ALL the fancy ones as well.
I am printing and submitting these sheet to a government facility and they are not complaining (so far) with ghost grid lines, But it sure would be appreciated to have more control over the printing of these unneeded gridlines.
I really don't want to recreate the whole thing and am trying to abandoned my addiction to excel all together.

How to remove the grid at the time of printing?

I could not find where to disable printing of the grid. The printer prints it constantly.

Hi SA,
Numbers does not have a print gridlines/don't print gridlines option.
In Numbers, there are Cell Borders. They are not the same as Gridlines in Excel. In Numbers, you must set the Cell Borders to your liking.
Here is a screen shot of Table 1 with 1 pt gridlines. Those gridlines will print.
Table 1-1 (selected in the Sheets Pane on the left of this screen shot) has a grid that is visible to help you while you are working on it:
I selected Table 1-1 (the square 'handles' show that the whole Table is selected)
and then in Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None.
Here is a screen shot of Sheet 1 after File > Print...
Table 1 (1 pt cell borders) will print with borders. Table 1-1 (Stroke > None) will not print with Cell borders.
Regards,
Ian.

Flex4: Printing my grids with mx:PrintDataGrid doesn't print the column headers

It's a simple mx:DataGrid with just 3 mx:DataGridColumns.
I use a s:VGroup as the print view. It contains an s:HGroup with two labels for the page header and then an mx:PrintDataGrid.
The grid data prints fine but the column headers are left blank. Just have the background gradient there, but no text.
Anyone any suggestions what goes wrong?
Thanks,
Ingo

kind of. My source grid is a plain vanilla mxml definition.
But when it comes to printing I create a new instance of my printview
which contains a PrintDataGrid and then do (besides other things):
printView.printDataGrid.dataProvider =
sourceDataGrid.dataProvider;
printView.printDataGrid.columns = sourceDataGrid.columns;
in order to get the same column properties in the print datagrid as in the
source datagrid.
Is that what you mean with "using the same set of colums which could cause
problems"?
If so, how to overcome this?

Printing the document grid does not work

Hi,
I got here a lot of master documents. The design is built with a squre document grid. I need to print or export it as PDF. But activating the checkbox does not work. Is it possible to print it? Ruler guides and the base grid are working. But I need to print the document grid.
Is there any possiblility to to this?
Thanks
DerSiedler

Printing the document grid is not an option, but you might be able to work around it by creating your own grid using Layout > Create Guides... then printing the visible guides.
I'd do that on a separate layer. If you want the grid, but not other guide, make a real grid with colored strokes using step and repeat, again on a separate layer.

Will not print dates on calendar only the grid

B110 printer will not now print monthly calendar as it used to. It just produces the grid with no days or dates showing

           Now my requirement is to while printing the list the logo and other top of page details should appear
           In the PDF output but currently while am pressing the print preview button only the alv data is coming
          am already using the method
    handle_top_of_page
      FOR EVENT print_top_of_page
             OF cl_gui_alv_grid,
may be am missing something ... How to get the top of page along with the logo printed ?

Hi Surya,
After generating the grid display click on print button,
a spool number is generated. capture the spool number and convert it to pdf using the fm:
CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and save the file
Hope this will solve your problem.
