The properties of all [[GMS:2D Grid Module|2D | The properties of all [[GMS:2D Grid Module|2D grid]] data that GMS displays on the screen can be controlled through the ''2D Grid'' tab of the [[GMS:Display Options|''Display Options'']] dialog. This dialog is opened by right-clicking on the "[[File:2D Grid Folder.svg|16 px]] 2D Grid Data" entry in the [[GMS:Project Explorer|Project Explorer]] and selecting the '''Display Options''' command. It can also be accessed from the ''Display'' menu or the '''Display Options''' [[File:Display Options Macro.svg|16 px]] macro. The following table describes the display options available for the 2D Grid module. | ||
