      It renders a Cartesian grid in the active layer, on top
      of the existing contents.  The width, spacing, offsets, and
      colors of the grid lines can all be set by the user.  By
      default, the lines are colored dark blue.  (Note: this
      plugin was used to create demonstration images for many of the
      other plugins.)

      There are separate options for controlling the horizontal grid
      lines, vertical grid lines, and intersections.  By default, the
      horizontal and vertical settings are locked together, so that
      all changes are applied symmetrically.  If you want to change
      just one of them, click on the "chain" symbol below it to unlock
      them.  The results of changing the "intersection" parameters are
      rather complex.

              <p>
            Sets the widths of the horizontal or vertical grid
            lines, or of the symbols drawn at their intersections.

            <dd>
              <p>
            Sets the distance between grid lines.  For intersections,
            sets the distance from the intersection point for the
            starting points of the line segments that are drawn.

              <p>
            Sets the offset for grid lines with respect to the upper
            left corner.  For intersections,
            sets the distance from the intersection point for the
            ending points of the line segments that are drawn.
