yorkw@barb.ecn.purdue.edu (Willis F York) (11/16/90)
Well some nice dude sent me the Below .STY file.
my problems are
1) I don't know how to use a STY file. (I just include it right?)
2) i edited the sty file so it's print out a grid
added a /begin{document} \end{document}
and the thinf will print a grid that's 3 "units" from the
top and left side of the paper. (ie i say do a 3x3 in qrid and it'll
be 3 in down/right.
I wnat to fill the paper.
3) The thing prints the grid then prints 3 blank pages.
Will the guy who sent me this mail back, (I lost the adress)
Here's the file for other interested people.
----------------------Cut grid.sty------------------------------
%grid.sty
%This style option produces a grid of dimensions n by m. This
%should prove useful to people who make exams and other kind of grid
%plots. It takes 5 arguments and should be used in the following manner:
%\grid{horizontal axis label}{vertical axis label}{horizontal
%dimen}{vertical dimen}{length of 1 unit(can be defined in any
%units)}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% EXAMPLE USAGE: %
% \grid{$x$}{$f(x)$}{8}{4}{0.25in} %
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% (yorkw) i added the below line so i could test the macro. delete for a sty file.
