	If you want to keep the PostScript file you might use `ps2ps` to shrink it. The 1mm fine vector mesh map can make the file pretty huge. Simply zipping it helps too.

	This time we set the default region to canvas size in mm. The canvas size for our 1/4" grid was just about right so we'll reuse that: <tt>9" * 25.4 = 228.6mm</tt>, <tt>7.5 * 25.4 = 190.5mm</tt>. Rounding to the nearest cm that's 230mm x 190mm. So the region is:		This time we set the default region to canvas size in mm.

So given the above dimensions Letter-sized paper with 1/2" margins on the sizes and 1" on the top and the bottom, the grid canvas will be 7.5" x 9". So set north=9, south=0, west=0, and east=7.5. Set the resolution to 0.25. The exact default region is not important, it's just to get us started.		: Here we will want to calculate the size of the grid canvas.
