Rectangular graph paper
Rectangular graph paper works like ordinary graph paper, but each cell is stretched in one direction. The spacing sets the cell height and the width ÷ height ratio sets the width, so 5 mm with a ratio of 2 gives 10 × 5 mm cells.
Wide cells are handy for tables, timelines and charts where one axis needs more room than the other. Use a ratio below 1 for tall, narrow cells, and add a bold line every few cells for counting.
