Grid Drawing Tutorial & How to Make a Grid in GIMP.I often use a grid for getting proportions right, when I'm drawing from a photo. It's useful especially fo. Here is an example of how the grid plug-in works: This screenshot depicts a four-square grid where each line has a width of 1 pixel. There is no offset around the border. The intersections are 0 so that lines smoothly intersect each other.

- In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a Grid photo collage in GIMP. For more detail go here https://twitter.com/PhotoEf.
- How can you create a grid that is actually part of the image? This using the image grid: that is only an aid, and is only visible on the monitor or in a screenshot. You can, however, use the Gridplugin to render a grid very similar to the image grid.

There are several problems with making a perspective grid:
1. for a real perspective you'd have to set up a horizonline and a vanishing point, right ?
2. Also for a real perspective grid, the horizontal lines would need to get closer, the more distant they are.
The perspective tool in Gimp is not a real perspective tool. It doesnt follow any perspective rules, unlike Inkscape's perspective extension or LPE.
Gimp's perspective tool is just a sort of free transform.
So lets say we throw that out of the window and make a fake perspective grid instead.
Im using a 640x400px canvas and with ofnuts' Path-grid plug-in, i set up a grid 36x36px.
I also set up guides around the edges of my canvas, and at 50% horizontally.
Heres the first problem:
i cant put guides outside the canvas, which i need as guidance and for snapping. If i want to stretch out the grid at the bottom, i have to extend the canvassize.
The perspective tool doesnt seem to give me any help with the coordinates.
So im setting up two additional guides 200px away from the edges of my original canvas after i extended my canvas.
Next problem: when i use the perspective tool in path mode, its applied to the whole canvas.
Im fixing that by alpha selecting my original canvas size.
After i applied the fake perspective to my path grid, i stroke the path on a new transparent layer.

The Configure Grid command lets you set the properties of the grid which you can display over your image while you are working on it. The GIMP provides only Cartesian grids. You can choose the color of the grid lines, and the spacing and offsets from the origin of the image, independently for the horizontal and vertical grid lines. You can choose one of five different grid styles.
- You can access this command from the image menubar through Image → Configure Grid….

Appearance
In the Configure Grid dialog, you can set the properties of the grid which is shown when you turn on the image grid.

This style, the least conspicuous, shows a simple dot at each intersection of the grid lines. Best direct mail campaigns.
This style, the default, shows a plus-shaped crosshair at each intersection of the grid lines.
Gimp Grid Size
This style shows dashed lines in the foreground color of the grid. If the lines are too close together, the grid won't look good.

This style shows dashed lines, where the foreground and background colors of the grid alternate.
This style shows solid grid lines in the foreground color of the grid.

Spacing
You can select the cell size of the grid and the unit of measurement.
Offset
You can set the offset of the first cell. The coordinate origin is the upper left corner of the image. By default, the grid begins at the coordinate origin, (0,0).
