a pattern of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines. In word processing tables, the grid, which represents cell borders, can be displayed or hidden. In graphics programs, users can choose to enable or disable the "snap to grid" feature. When it is turned on, objects are automatically aligned with the nearest horizontal and/or vertical line of the grid. Grid intervals can usually be set by the user.
a feature of various draw programs and paint programs that allows lines to be drawn only in certain positions, as if they were drawn on the lines of graph paper. The grid makes it much easier to draw parallel and perpendicular lines, lay out diagrams, and avoid irregular breaks. However, when the grid is turned on, there are positions in which you cannot draw.
