Change line colors to make graph paper that is easier to use.

Grid colors make unique graph papers!

All grids are initially created using the default line palette.

To pick a different default palette color --
[1] Tap an icon on the Toolbar to open a tool menu.
[2] Find the palette of colors in the menu, then tap a color to set the color for that feature.

The square tile in the palette shows which line color is selected. The screenshots below show the menu when the 1st palette color tile, green is selected, and the menu after the 2nd color, blue, is selected.

Grid as it first appears. The first color in the palette is selected.

Tap blue circle to change the line color to the second palette color.

TIP: Want to turn off a grid feature?
Tap the selected color again, the color tile will change to a small circle (indicating that it is 'off') when no color is selected the feature does not  display!

Ways to use line colors and weights

[1] Make a graph paper easier to use by selecting different line weights and colors for each grid division. The screenshots below show the Major Grid with heavier green lines than the Minor Grid's purple lines.

Major Grid. Settings: square, GREEN lines, MEDIUM line weight, and 1 inch grid size.

Minor Grid. Settings: PURPLE lines, FINE line weight, and 4 divisions of each major square.

[2] Set all line weights to fine and pick a different color for each grid division. Get more detailed instructions  on this approach in the blog entry "Create Fine Line grid paper for precise plotting". Below shows Major Grid lines set to a darker shade of green than the Minor Grid or Subdivision.

Major Grid, Minor Grid and Subdivision lines are all set to fine line, then different shades of green are used for each division.

Switch to a different palette

To see all the palettes available, tap Palettes icon on the tool bar — 

1. Scroll through the predefined palettes
2. Tap '+' to create your own 4-color palette

How to switch to another predefined palette

1. Tap Palette on the toolbar
2. Scroll through the palettes. The grid updates as you scroll — swapping out the original palette color with the new palette's color based on the position of the color tile in the original grid's palette. For example, the left-most (first) color in the Default palette, green, is replaced by the left-most (first) color in the just scrolled-to Blue palette, dark blue.
   

Green and purple graph paper is now shades of blue.

Leave the picker on the selected palette. Below shows a few of the menus updated to the selected palette.
