Virtual Graph Paper - News

Please note that it is not currently possible to copy things from or to other applications, but only within Virtual Graph Paper.


New version

I've spent the past few months rewriting major parts of VGP to make it perform better on a wider range of devices and browsers. These changes are now finally live, which means you might encounter new bugs or weird behaviour (but if all goes well, you shouldn't notice much).

* E-mail is, alas, not perfect and sometimes I'm unable to reply to messages because of technical issues. If you never heard back from me that's probably why.


Go to coordinate

You can now press Ctrl-G to center your view at a given XY coordinate:


Splice tool

You can now use the Splice action of the Select tool to split a shape into separate segments:
