Defaulting to four subdivisions? Is that an American thing or a CompSci thing?

Surely a decimal-compatible subdivision is more usual as a default? A nice subtle 5/10 thin thick variation would be great.




4 subdivisions is 5 points per box


Yes, at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0.

These are not useful choices for graphing decimal data or plotting metric measurements - which is why most graph paper I have ever encountered has 5 or 10 subdivisions.
