New extension for grid (guides) with columns and gutters

Postby samueldellicour » Sun Jan 26, 2014 10:07 am

UPDATE: This extension is no longer maintained. Is has moved to a package of guide extentions: Find the details in this post!

I wanted to share an extension I made to generate guides in a grid - resulting in equal width columns with gutters (= spacing between columns). I named it Grid Maker, and you can find a more detailed description and a download link on the Grid Maker github page. Here is a direct download link. (Is there a particular place to announce extensions other than this forum?)

The extension in action:

My extension is heavily based on the extension Grid Creator, which generates guides in relation to the page/document. I used that extension as a base to suit my needs - grids (for designing websites) that can have gutters, and that can be centered in a page (or left or right aligned). It also works with rows.

It is my first extension and I'm not a programmer, just a designer tinkering with code.

What do you think ?

Hi.

Nice extension! I remember when you announced this plugin in that topic asking how to do this. Quite an improvement!
(On a side note I suggest to post in to that topic too.)

Makes me want to get back to my old extension idea(s).

Maybe here;http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Extension_repository?

A download link for the extension would be nice. :)

@Lazur URH: thanks, I've added a reply to that topic.

@Ragnar: I've updated my initial post with links ;-) - thanks. I'll try to get it on that wiki page.

As mentioned in the update of the initial post, the most recent version can now be found through this post, or directly on this github page.
