Hey Yanbu, wouldn't it be convenient if there was a grid option on the applet? If the option is 'on' a grid overlays the applet. I think it would be convenient for the sliding and filtering thing, to copy parts of a drawing and being able to drop it exact on the right spot.

I think this can be done with a css thingy

he shunt,
it's quite easy to create a grid in form of a checker board using the slidehack.
though you need a piece of paper for pixel perfect sliding.

start with basic element ▄▀ and slidehack it to ▄▀▄▀
you need the piece of paper for marking the endpoint of â–„â–€. so you know how much you need to slide it to the right.

ah, great idea idtwwr, have to try that out one of these days. Thanks!

i really want to add a scripting window to oekaki so you can tell it to do repetitive commands like:

for i in range(10,29,10):
line(i,0,i,300)

would make cover the drawing area with vertical lines the spaced ten pixels apart

maybe a ruler line around the drawin area could also do the trick
