5.7.6 Aspect ratio
The command 4 by 3 aspect ratio or 16 by 9 aspect ratio determines the aspect ratio of the grid cells to 4×3 or
to 16×9. Depending on the aspect ratio of the projection module not the whole work area will fit into the grid.
The command Use vertical helps to fit the grid in horizontal or vertical direction into the work area. The com-
mand Align grid to top/bottom/left/right/center helps to align the grid within the work area.

5.7.7 Align grid
If grid and display are of different aspect ratio, there might be space not covered by the grid on the edges of the
display area. The commands Align grid to top/button/left/right/center determine where this space is lo-
cated.
Dependent if Use vertical is selected or not, either the commands for horizontal or vertical alignment are appli-
cable. The commands for grid alignment have only an effect if the command 4 by 3 aspect ratio or 16 by 9
aspect ratio is checked. Please refer to section
5.7.5 Use vertical and 5.7.6 Aspect ratio above.
5.7.8 Standard grid configurations
The command 2 by 2 grid creates a grid with 2×2 cells on the work area. Respectively a grid with 3×3, 4×4 or
5×5 cells can easily be created.
Depending on the resolution of the display area and the aspect ratio of the grid cells, it may not be possible to
have the same amount of cells in horizontal and in vertical direction. In this case and if Use vertical is checked,
the wished number of cells will be fit in vertical direction into the work area, the number of horizontal cells will
be calculated respectively. If Use vertical is not checked the horizontal number of cells will fit into the display
area.
To display the above-mentioned grids, alternatively use the shortcut keys Ctrl+2, Ctrl+3, Ctrl+4 or Ctrl+5.
