It had crossed my mind that it would be pretty simple business to write a PostScript program to generate whatever graph paper a person wants, but most people don't have a way to print PostScript, and most people DO have Excel or Open Office. Yeah, it's a heck of a big club for a simple job, but it's a club most folks are familiar with. Just enter into a sheet the min and max for each axis, create a scatter plot as a new sheet, then adjust the scales to your liking ... you can set log or linear, as many decades as you want, etc. Select the series and set the symbol color to no color, and you have plain graph paper. Now you can go crazy setting colors, line styles, background patterns, etc. etc. etc. Pretty easy to do almost anything imaginable. --McD -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
