# Grid

The grid shape provides a way to place points at equal distances across a 2D plane

|                          |                  |                                                                                                                                                 |
| ------------------------ | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <p>Offset (X, Y)<br></p> | Decimal (meters) | The location of the grid in the X and Y direction relative to its anchor point.                                                                 |
| Constant Density Mode    | On/Off           | When on, centers the formation with equal density based on the value provided by the "Density" field.                                           |
| Slotting Mode            | Decimal          | <p>Simple - Square placement<br><br>Staggered - Each row is offset by half the horizontal distance between points in an alternating pattern</p> |
| Density                  | Decimal          | The amount of space between drones within the grid.                                                                                             |
| Max Slots                | Decimal          | The maximum number of drones that can be applied to the grid. Only valid when using "Constant Density Mode"                                     |
| Width                    | Decimal (meters) | The width of the grid.                                                                                                                          |
| Length                   | Decimal (meters) | The length of the grid.                                                                                                                         |
