[comp.text.tex] A TeX Test. I can't spell Challenge

yorkw@stable.ecn.purdue.edu (Willis F York) (11/15/90)

Well I seem to ask more questions then i answer (Sorry)

The Problem: To print a "Grid" pattern of a Given size.

reasons:

1) To have a Nice graph paper form to print on overhead projector sheets.
2) To have tests with a little Grid area to have answers involving 
   plots and or drawings.

ie. the test would go like....

"The Problem is: $Nice Math eqn$ "
Plot the graph of this curve.

/grid{3in,8in,.25in}  %I'm not sure how ya call macros

%I want the above to mean draw a 3x8 Box with a .25 in grid in it.
%A \medskip befor and after would be nice.

3) To see how it's best done.

Addational "Bonus Points"

Have the Grid allow diffrent line thickness/patterns
have the grid have 1 in squares with 4 squares per in in a lighter
line (light dotted) (kinda like engenering paper)

100PT bonus:  Have the Grid Paper be HEX paper. (I have a Need)

-------
Well the above MIGHT be very easy, but i've seen no good examples
of drawing. and Such, Tho someone sent me a sample doc i 
haven't had time to look at "YET".

Note: I haven't FOUND the LaTeX book YET. So I may be ignorent of its power
Thanx.
