Any chance that a pentagon pattern could be added?
Penrose tiling with kites and darts would be neat!

#22I have checked your app. The idea is great, but I feel the log-log plots and some scientific and engineering sheets will be helpful. By the way great work.

#23Very cool. However, on Safari, in the Mac, I don't see any graph on the first two (standard North-South/East-West graph). I do see the isometric and hexagonal ones, though. Maybe the lines are too thin/light.
It is because of the faintness of the lines. If you zoom the page, you can see it.
It's a really nicely-done utility.
Thanks!

#24Although I don't personally use graph paper much, this project looks great. I find many of the example pattern previews very hard to see, though. I'd darken and/or thicken the lines. The descriptions underneath are good, but there are a lot of patterns that are unfamiliar to me that I'd like to be able to preview better, like Cross Stitch and Knitting.

#26I got tired of graph-paper sites that print at the wrong scale, hide the PDF behind a signup, or slap a watermark on it. So I built one that's free, has no login, and prints true-to-scale. The interesting part for me was the architecture: a single pure function buildPaper(config) emits geometric primitives (lines / circles / text), and everything is derived from it - the on-screen SVG preview, the in-browser PDF, and…
is there a way to export the .svg so i can load them into a plotter to make the graph paper? Since you've expended all the effort to ensure proper sizing and whatnot. It even looks like it has the same margins as my plotter!
one can load the pdf into inkscape and presumably get an .svg out that will load into cricut's nonsense. however it scales the svg, so i don't get the accuracy. i am 95% sure this is on the cricut "slicer" and not inkscape or the OP. Anyhow, it works well enough. i'm plotting a hex sheet right now.

#27Woah what a very niche cool concept.
