PIMSLS 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:

1. Size
2. Synchronize
3. R/C (rows and columns)
4. Slide viewing properties
5. Snapshot
6. Share

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

(1×1 Grid size)

First grid option allows you to divide the viewport into 1×1 column grid.

(2×2 Grid size)

Second grid option divides the viewport into 2×2 column grid.

(3×3 Grid size)

Third grid option divides the viewport into 3×3 column grid.

(Custom Grid size)

You can even customize the grid according to your need by using the custom grid option.

This section allows you to perform different actions as a whole on individual grid column or as a whole grid system. It is further divided into 4 sub actions:
