Good dot paper is an immensely valuable tool for notetaking, but finding dot paper with the right spacing and margins is a significant challenge.
http://paperkit.net/dottedpaper provides a very customizable way to generate it, but unfortunately the
dot paper generator is broken and further, has a large watermark at the bottom. To get around this simply
navigate to that page, put in the configuration you want, and then instead of clicking Download PDF
. Paste
the following into your console. Note: You may need to click enable pop-ups and then re-run the code again
for it to work.
var doc = new jsPDF('p','mm',format);
// console.log();
str = $('select#stroke-width').val()*0.15;
doc.setLineWidth(str);
doc.setDrawColor(r,g,b);
// doc.rect(margin, margin, w-margin*2, h-margin*2);
doc.setFillColor(r,g,b);
for (var j = margin ; j <= w-margin; j+=gridsize) {
for(var i =margin ; i <= h-margin+16; i +=gridsize) {
doc.circle(j,i, str, 'F');
}
};
doc.setFontSize(11);
doc.setTextColor(200);
var string = doc.output('datauristring');
var iframe = "<iframe width='100%' height='100%' src='" + string + "'></iframe>"
var x = window.open();
x.document.open();
x.document.write(iframe);
x.document.close();
To download Letter size dot paper with 5mm spacing that I have pre-generated, just visit: http://bl.ocks.org/huberf/raw/77858b33932eb7e0c439326b1542178d
Note: This generates a single page, and to make it 2 pages for double sided printing, simply visit https://smallpdf.com/merge-pdf and then merge the PDF file with itself (just uploaded the same file twice). You will now have 2 pages of the identical dot paper fill.
I don't know the team at paperkit, but I appreciate the work they did and I hope they fix the site so that this workaround is not necessary.
