Mi-Zi-Ge Grid

Mi-Zi-Ge adds diagonal guides to the basic square, so you can reference both the centre and the four corners. Ideal once basic stroke placement is under control. Nine Palace, Hui-Gong, Hui-Mi, cross and Tianzige styles are included.

FAQ

Should I use Mi-Zi-Ge or Tianzige?

Start with Tianzige to build a sense of placement, then move to Mi-Zi-Ge for stroke direction and balance. Nine Palace and Hui-Gong grids suit studying how components share space. Switch styles from the "Cell style" dropdown.

Can I print several grid styles at once?

One style per generation. Set up each style and export them separately; if you reuse a set of values often, note them down and re-enter them next time.

Why are the printed dimensions wrong?

If your print dialogue has "Fit to page" enabled or scaling below 100%, the whole grid is scaled down. Set scaling to 100% / "Actual size", and tick the calibration ruler in the generator, then measure the 5 cm mark with a ruler. PDF dimensions are locked in the file, so they are the safest option.

Should I choose PDF, PNG or SVG?

Use PDF for printing and millimetre accuracy, PNG for documents and web sharing, and SVG for vector editing. Templates with Chinese tracing characters are exported as high-resolution raster PDFs so the glyphs stay intact; for vector-quality tracing, use "Print → Save as PDF".

Can I change the page size, colours and line weight?

Yes. The common settings cover page size (A4 / A5 / B5 / 16K / Letter / custom), orientation, margins, binding margin, background colour, page numbers, watermark and logo. Mi-Zi-Ge Grid also has its own options in the "Template settings" panel.

Does anything I type or upload get sent to a server?

No. Generation, preview and export all happen inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
