 The {{Literal|grid_size}} Key in the {{l|Canvas MetaData Panel}} stores the grid spacing in Synfig's {{l|Unit_System|internal units}} as two floating point values separated by a space character. The first value stores the spacing of the vertical grid lines. The second value stores the spacing of the horizontal grid lines.

 You can add a grid of horizontal and vertical lines to your {{l|Canvas|canvases}} to help you to position items precisely. The grids won't appear in your finished animations, but they will be saved with your documents. Each {{l|Canvas|canvas}} has its own grid. The spacing of the horizontal and vertical lines in a grid can be changed independently, so you can have grids made up of rectangles as well as grids made up of squares.
-If you imagine the grid's lines are made of metal, {{l|Duck|ducks}} act like magnets around grid lines, snapping onto them when they get close enough. This means that, using grids, it is easy to ensure {{l|Duck|ducks}} are in particular places.

 ==Enabling and disabling snapping to a grid==
-The grid does not do anything until snapping to the grid is enabled. Once snapping is enabled, when you move a duck close to a grid line it will "snap" onto it, in much the same way as a magnet will snap onto a piece of metal. Once a duck has snapped to a grid line you will find it takes a stronger than normal movement to detach it from the grid line, again as if you were pulling a magnet off of something metallic.
