Page Grid Feature

[hongnhung258hn]

I am currently practicing calligraphy styles and feel very fortunate to have been introduced this PDF reader app. It helps me examine every single stroke of the lettering with great clarity. When you developed the Page Grid feature, I was thrilled because it made it much easier to align letter proportions.

Building on that, I would love to propose an additional customization option for this tool: the ability to adjust the grid's slant angle along a diagonal axis. In my research, script angles can range from 52 to 60 degrees. Additionally, it would be extremely convenient if there were a cursor or arrow tool to drag and manually adjust the grid cell width, as the letter sizes in my research vary and require custom adjustments for better analysis.

I have attached an example showing how I currently have to analyze images using another tool, for your reference.

Thank you once again for all your hard work and efforts.

Hmm that is likely less related to page grid but object measure so you have a line that intersects at about 53 degrees (Orientation)
using get points from left to right we can instantly in 2 clicks see that is Deg.: 53.192°

Download and double click the cmd to see if it builds then you can add THE .EXE as a shortcut or icon

This will be in the next pre-release.

That is truly impressive—I honestly didn't expect such a fast response!

One thing regarding the mouse-dragging customization: I would love it if dragging didn't distort the grid proportions, meaning the vertical and horizontal sides of the cells should remain equal (maintaining square cells). As for the angle measurement, calculating it from the right side feels a bit more intuitive, but the current way is already fine.

Thank you so much, your app has made my calligraphy research so much easier.
