What is Oblique Graph Paper?

Oblique graph paper is a type of grid paper with a special slanted grid pattern. Instead of the usual vertical and horizontal lines, it has one set of lines that are vertical and another set that are at a 45-degree angle (diagonal). This creates a slanted or “oblique” grid.

Uses of Oblique Graph Paper

This type of graph paper is helpful when you need to draw something that isn’t just flat but has depth or perspective.

1. Technical Drawing & Engineering – Used to create 3D-looking drawings of objects, making it useful for mechanical or architectural sketches.
2. Art and Design: Artists and designers use it to create patterns, designs, or illustrations with a 3D effect.
3. Drawing 3D Shapes: It’s great for sketching 3D objects or technical drawings, like cubes or buildings, because the slanted lines help show depth and perspective.
4. Mathematics & Geometry – It’s helpful for visualizing geometric shapes or graphs in a way that looks more three-dimensional.
5. Cartography (Map Making) – Sometimes used for creating maps with a specific perspective.

Oblique graph paper makes it easier to draw things that look like they have depth, making it useful for art, design, and technical work.
