What Is Your Favorite Guide Sheet Generator?

[JeffPDX2]

Do you have a favorite place to go for your guide sheets when practicing calligraphy? I find that the ones in the books never seem to be 'right', and you have to rip them out, etc.

 

I found a couple of websites that generate guide sheets (and/or graph paper) in pdf form that I can then print. I wanted to share this website that provides the best website generator I have run across:

 

http://www.allunderone.org/calligraphy2/calligraphy.php

 

It allows me to control every aspect of the guidelines: nib width, vertical line angle, ascender height, capital height, x height, descender.....the gamut. It allows you to print either landscape or portrait, US or A4.....I could go on.

 

If you are a beginner like me and you need guidesheets, try this generator out.

I liked to use Omnigraffle a lot when I was using a mac. It is dead easy to use and the only program I really miss from those days.

 

On my current platform (Linux) I use Inkscape but I don't know it as well (yet!).

I have always used this one - and it is more than just a line generator....
