For generic GUI proposal see [[SpecGuidesImprovement\|a separate specification]].

			Here we define options that specific to composition guides only:

			'''Divine proportion'''

			* orientation
			* colors for grid, spiral and axis
			* opacity?

			'''Layout grid'''

			* devisions: horizontal and vertical (e.g. 3x3, 5x5 etc.)
			* opacity?

	'~~''Composition~~ guides~~'''~~		Inkscape 0.46 provides a flexible architecture for creation of new grids types. While having rectangular and axonometric or isometric grid at the same time probably doesn't make a lot of sense, it would be great using the architecture to create composition guides such as the golden spiral or the diagonal method that will look just fine with either rectangular or isometric grid.

added 1st draft of composition guides spec

New page

Inkscape 0.46 already has a flexible plug-in architecture for grids, allowing several grids to be displayed at the same time. While having rect and axonometric or isometric grid at the same time probably doesn't make a lot of sense, here is how we could make the best use of it:

'''Composition guides'''

There is a fair number of composition rules that in terms of software means displaying various guidelines. This is a list of most often used ones:

= Types =

* golden sections
* rule of thirds
* golden triangles (two versions, see Rawstudio)
* harmonious triangles (two versions, see Rawstudio)
* golden spiral (see digiKam)
* 9 sections

= Colors =

Each composition guide needs its own line color to make it stand out a little from other guides

= Zoomed in/out display =

Guides should always be displayed with 1px line width and not be displayed at zoom level where lines cannot be distinguished from each other anymore.
