I like this a lot. Curiously, it's useless for what I use graph paper for.
I'll describe my idealized graph paper -- similar to what I made myself in a drawing program, but with several improvements taken from browsing these and seeing things done better than I did:
- Coarse centimeter line grid
- Fine millimeter dot grid
- Optionally, a thicker line occasionally (e.g. every 4-5cm), or better yet, a cross-grid.
- A rectangle in the bottom right where I can place a label
Grid should go edge-to-edge (with a bit of bleed in the design).
I'm not saying that's anybody else's ideal. That's ideal for what I do. There is no "best," but there is "suitability to purpose" combined with "what one is used to."
I think the way to do this would be the same webapp, but where it's possible to overlay several of these on top of each other. Multiweight and multicolor should be a combination of a pair of single weight / single color.
The way to do a lot of this, by the way, is in PostScript programming.
Footnote: Reading more of the web site, this guy is clearly awesome.
