Macro Monday: Gridliner

April 20, 2009

If you look at Web graphics, you’ll often see a series of grid lines running across the background. If you try to create that effect manually, it will take you quite a while. That’s where the Gridliner macro for Corel PHOTO-PAINT comes into play. If you just need lines, no problem. Want a grid of boxes? Again, not a problem. You can even specify the thickness of the lines, colors, gradients and much more. Definitely a very handy tool to have in your design arsenal.
