Gridlines in a document can help align text and other objects as a reference. Here is a utility method to add gridlines to your 4D Write Pro document:

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------- // Name: WP_SHOW_GRID_LINES // Description: Draws gridlines with SVG that will be the background // image of a 4D Write Pro document. // // Parameters: // $1 (POINTER) - Pointer to the 4D Write Pro object // $2 (BOOLEAN) - True - Gridlines, False - No gridlines // ---------------------------------------------------------------------- C_POINTER($1;$wpPtr) C_BOOLEAN($2;$choice) C_TEXT($svgID;$objRef) C_LONGINT($i;$j) C_PICTURE($pic) If (Count parameters=2)  $wpPtr:=$1  $choice:=$2  If ($choice)   $svgID:=SVG_New   For ($i;0;900;14)    For ($j;0;900;14)     $objRef:=SVG_New_rect ($svgID;$i;$j;14;14;0;0;"grey";"white";0.2)    End for   End for   SVG EXPORT TO PICTURE($svgID;$pic;Copy XML data source)   SVG_CLEAR ($svgID)  End if  WP SET ATTRIBUTES($wpPtr->;wk background image;$pic) End if

Here is a sample code when there are not gridlines on 4D Write Pro:

WP_SHOW_GRID_LINES (->WriteProArea;False)

Here is a sample code when there are gridlines on 4D Write Pro:

WP_SHOW_GRID_LINES (->WriteProArea;True)
