Snap objects to the grid

You can make your objects snap to predefined grid points by selecting Snap to Grid.

By default, the grid is set to 10 pixels and to be visible when you start WindowMaker. You configure the pixel interval for the grid in the WindowMaker configuration screen.

To see the grid, you must select Show Grid on the WindowMaker configuration screen and select Snap to Grid on the View menu.

Configure the grid

1. On the File menu, select Configure, and then select WindowMaker. The WindowMaker configuration screen appears.

2. In the Grid spacing box, type the number of pixels to space between coordinates.

3. Select the Show grid check box if you want to see the grid when Snap to Grid is selected.

   If you do not select Show Grid, no grid is visible in your windows when you select Snap to Grid.
