margins out of control

This is a fantastic idea, thanks for writing it! I'm going to be using it a lot.
Noticed one problem, in trying to customize to different sorts of paper. Removing the \usepackage[cm]{fullpage}, or changing it to \usepackage[in]{fullpage} or even \usepackage[margin=0cm]{geometry} or \usepackage[margin=5cm]{geometry} makes no difference to the generated PDF file. And adding documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article} just messes things up.
Basically, the graph-paper-drawing routines have the size of the area to fill hard coded, with things like (8.1in,10.6in). These values should be computed from \textheight and \textwidth, and doing this would seem to require something like \usepackage{calc}.
There's an initial commit of a package that works across different paper sizes. Lots of kinks still need to be ironed out (some patterns don't align properly on non-letter paper sizes yet, and we haven't added code to adjust margins for patterns that frame a grid) but we'll get there. You can open new issues for specific pattern / paper size bugs.
Sweet!
