===== Working with grids =====

PMA.studio uses viewport as a grid system. The user interface provides a separate tab "GRID" to perform grid operations on the viewport.

Note that as an alternative, you can also have different viewports open in separate panels. If you work with panels, you can still reorganize them, and each panel can have its own custom size too. When you work with a grid within a panel however, each cell in the grid has the same pixel size.

"GRID" tab consists of 6 sections:

  - [[#size|Size]]
  - [[#synchronize|Synchronize]]
  - [[#RC|R/C]] (rows and columns)
  - [[#slide|Slide viewing properties]]
  - [[#snapshot|Snapshot]]
  - [[#share|Share]]

==== Size ====

Size section allows you to break viewport as a grid system with different sizes. This includes grid sizes of 1x1,2x2,3x3 and even you can customized the grid size according to your need.
