I'm using DECWRITE to write a technical specification. I like to include timing diagrams within the document and would like to use the paint program because it has the "snap-to" grid feature that works well when you use the poly-line drawing tool (you get nice edges). The problem is, I need a finer grid!!! Is there a DECPaint.Grid_spacing resource or some other way to change the grid pitch?? Also, where is the "offical" documentation for DECPaint? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance/Eric

At the risk of stating the obvious: DECwrite has a snap-to-grid feature too, and it provides selectable grid spacing (selectable from a set of choices, not continuously variable). paul | |||||

The Paint documentation is in the DECwindows Desktop Applications Guide | |||||

I'd highly recommend doing the drawing within frames directly within the DECwrite document. Not only does it sound more suited than DECpaint for your needs, but you get a few more advantages as well (no linked to files to worry about, object-oriented graphics that are easy to reshape, etc). I do this all the time. DECwrite did a good job of providing drawing cap- abilities and manipulation features. -mike | |||||

RAGS also has an adjustable grid feature, more drawing capabilities than DECwrite, no freehand though.... | |||||
