<h2>6.1 Grid snapping</h2>





<em>Grid snapping</em> is easy to explain. It simply means that the mouse
position is rounded to the nearest grid point. Grid points are points
whose coordinates are integer multiples of the <em>grid size</em>, which can be
set in the box in the <em>Snap</em> field. You have a choice from a set of
possible grid sizes. The units are Postscript points (in LaTeX called
<code>bp</code>), which are equal to 1/72 of an inch. 
<p>You can ask Ipe to show the grid points by selecting the function
<em>Grid visible</em> from the <em>View</em> menu. The same function turns
it off again.
