#28 1/2 Inch graph paper style
The current paper style looks like quarter inch graph paper. I can make the boxes bigger by zooming in and using a thinner pen to compensate, but it would be great if there were 1/2 inch graph paper.
I teach 4th grade and use xournal extensively in combination with a digital projector. 1/2" graph paper is a good thing to get numbers to line up nicely when doing arithmetic.

The current graph paper is 5mm, since that's the international standard. I'll add "more paper choices" to the to-do list. In case you'd prefer not to wait until I get to it (which might take a long time):
- Method 1: in the file src/xo-misc.h, change the line
#define RULING_GRAPHSPACING 14.17
to
#define RULING_GRAPHSPACING 36.0
recompile, and reinstall. (Note: when you share documents in .xoj format with other people, they won't see your larger graph paper grid, they'll still see the 5mm default grid).
- Method 2 (or if you want more paper styles, but don't need to be able to change the paper color): make a PDF file containing a blank page of graph paper of your favorite dimensions, and then use "annotate PDF" to open it whenever you need a blank xournal document. [One way to make such a PDF file is to patch the source as above, and then "export to PDF" a blank document (with the "print paper ruling" option switched on)].
I'm attaching a sheet of white 8.5x11 half-inch graph paper, so you can just annotate that PDF file.

The PDF solution is perfect. Thanks.
