Re: GAL grid style setting inconsistency

 

Hi Jon,

Thank you for the notice, I think you are right about making the values
consistent.

I changed the GRID_STYLE enum to match to match the grid options map as
it seemed more reasonable. I hope it will not be too disturbing for the
nightly users to adjust the grid settings, but it had to be fixed.

Regards,
Orson
