    * In Pixels Mode the size and AR of the grids are set by entering a fixed pixel dimension
    * The Grid is therefore made up of squares

    * With "In Pixels" turned off the size and Aspect Ratio of the grid is determined by the numbers set
    * In the example above the Grid has been "Centred" by setting a 20×20 Grid

    * With "Snap To Grid" ticked the Image/Object will snap to a Major or Minor Grid Line in either direction if dragged close enough
