package	`FMEstable/ReleaseMeVis`
definition	SoGrid.def
see also	`SoAxis`, `SoCylinder`, `SoCorner`
keywords	`mesh`, `grid`, `grill`, `fence`, `lattice`, `graticule`

Purpose¶

SoGrid is a convenience macro drawing a simple grid built of crossing cylinders. It is useful in combination with data displays, coordinate systems or data grids which need a lattice background for axis.
