Uses for US Letter graph paper
Quarter-inch graph paper (four squares per inch) on 8.5 × 11 inch Letter is the classic American school and engineering pad. It is used for math homework, plotting functions, bar charts, floor plans at a quarter-inch-to-a-foot scale and pixel-art sketches.
The spacing is set to 6.35 mm, exactly a quarter inch; use 12.7 mm for half-inch squares, or 5.08 mm for five squares per inch.
Pages are generated as vector graphics at exact real-world sizes, so they print sharply. In the print dialog set scale to 100% (not "fit to page") so the spacing is accurate. You can also change the colour and line weight, add a header for name and date, download an SVG or PNG, or switch to any other paper type. Everything is generated in your browser.
