Graph Paper Idea - Find a Solution for Math Homework

In summary, Fred wants to make a graph sticker that can be attached to plain paper, either with a stamp or by using a stick. Michael's has some custom stickers that can be made.

Not so sure on hwere to post this but here it is,

Im sitting here doing math homework and thinking abuot how much i hate having to bust out graph paper when i want to make a graph, i also hate normal college rule paper because of the line so i normally just use an spiral art pad for math. What i want is plain white paper with grid lines where ever i decide i want them so I am thinking i need either a stamp or better yet somthing like a stick that i can just cut or tear to size and stick on the paper.

So has anyone seen anything like this before?? I was also thinking it would be nice if it could be on of those double sided stickers that basically just lays down a thin layer of ink or dye then just press it on and pull the backing off and instantly you could have grids for a graph right on your plain paper.

Not sure if this is out there at all or if someone knows how one could do this but i think i would be handy for me at the very least.

Personally, I have always used "engineer's computation pad"

http://p.office1000.com/vp1/42381RED.jpg

It has the graph on the back, so it is very feint to see from the front, but is pretty bold on the back so you always have a piece of graph paper if you need it.

Fred, your idea is expensive, because it means you're using engineer's paper for general use.

No, I like HappMatt's idea. Did you know you can get custom stamppads made? Go you your local craft store (Michael's, Grand & Toy, Office Depot, etc.)

You can print your own graph paper. Here are a couple of free programs. tribdog had posted a link to one that was completely customizable, but it seems it's not there anymore.

Yes, but that's still not what he's looking for. He wants to write on blank paper, and embed a small graph right there, next to his notes.

And just how the hell is anyone supposed to read that? I felt like I was falling into a black hole just looking at it.

took me awhile to get back here, but i love this right here, i think I am going to have to order on of these up. thanks

New tecnical note pad called Geek Pad

Dear Engineering and Math students:

For those of you frustrated with using regular engineering graph paper or college ruled note book paper, I have the answer. Why not combine the two. Check out the new innovative technical note pad known as the "Geek Pad". Contact me at jeff@geek-pad.com

It is a Smith chart and is used in microwave engineering (used for various impedance calculations).
Very useful if you know how to read one (I should know how to use one, but I don't:shy:)
