Option to snap FP size to grid

[altenbach]

While it is easy to snap front panel elements to the alignment grid, no such helper exists if we resize, scroll, or pan the front panel.

In the majority of cases, my front panel has a size that is aligned with the grid, but it is often tricky to resize the window so this is actually the case. I propose an option that would snap the front panel size to integer multiples of the grid spacing when it is resized. Similarly, scrolling the front panel with the scrollbars would move the panel in units of the grid. Same for panning.

(Of course this idea here would no longer be really needed if this idea were implemented :D)

1. Your parenthetical aside is still relevant, even if the other Idea is implemented - it's just that in that case, the run-time boundaries would have a snap-to-grid option.

2. Kudos.

3. What is the expected response for setting the FP Origin via property node for an uneven multiple? Would it snap to the nearest grid multiple?

4. A new Idea should be created if this is implemented: Independent Horizonal and Vertical Grid Lines (allow rectangular grids rather than just square grids)

No. If you're setting something programmatically, you have complete control. If you want it to snap, code it (which is pretty simple - it only requires using Q&R and then multiplying).
