[Grid Maker Plugin v3.0 - Updated July 2, 2014]

Excellent!

Now the only issue is of defaults, but that's relatively minor. (optimal for me would be if I could start with two garish colors and a 32z32 grid)

Thank you for the tweak! Since my stab at a hacky-script in CodeLab failed for some bizarre reason, I'm going to go with this plugin.

Extra Credit: Does anyone know why on earth this script would only draw columns?

(DISCLAIMER: First C# code I've written, and the differences between it and C++ were learned through compiler errors :razz:)

const int GRID_SIZE = 32;

void Render (Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect) {

   bool rowIsToggled    = false;
   int  rowsUntilToggle = 0;
   for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; ++y) {

       if (0 == rowsUntilToggle) {
           rowIsToggled    = !rowIsToggled;
           rowsUntilToggle = GRID_SIZE;
       }

       bool columnIsToggled    = false;
       int  columnsUntilToggle = 0;
       for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; ++x) {

           if (0 == columnsUntilToggle) {
               columnIsToggled    = !columnIsToggled;
               columnsUntilToggle = GRID_SIZE;
           }

           ColorBgra color;
           if (rowIsToggled != columnIsToggled)
               color = ColorBgra.FromBgr(220, 20, 20);
           else
               color = ColorBgra.FromBgr(20, 20, 220);

           dst[x, y] = color;

           --columnsUntilToggle;
       }

       --rowsUntilToggle;
   }

}

This is going to make manipulating icon artwork a lot more convenient at work.

Thank you!

I've been itching for Paint.NET to have a grid generator, but what I need is a checkerboard of the primary and secondary colors.

I suppose I could just whip that up in CodeLab...
