reMarkable Engineering Templates

These are a set of templates for the reMarkable E Ink tablets. They provide a more structured base than any of the stock grid templates. In particular, these have:

A header line with a large and small information box. The author uses them for page titles and dates, respectively.
A grid with major and minor grid lines.
- The imperial templates have major lines every inch and minor lines every eighth of an inch.
- The metric templates have major lines every centimeter and minor lines every five millimeters or every two millimeters, depending on the template.
- The log and semilog templates have major lines spaced every inch and minor lines spaced according to a base ten logarithm. (In other words, each successive major line is a successive power of ten.)
A couple of lines at the bottom for more free-form notes.

The spacing is calibrated to the size of the reMarkable's screen. Marks that are one centimeter apart on the reMarkable may look different when exported from the device or reMarkable cloud. Experimentation (with software version 2.6) indicates that the PDF export option should match the size pretty closely. The PNG export will match the size for any program that understands the PNG's embedded DPI. The SVG export will not match the dimensions of the tablet's image.

Installation

Go to the project's releases page and use the "Template Images" link on the most recent release to download a zip file containing all of the template files. Extract the zip file's contents. Note that there is an SVG file and a PNG file for each template; you need to send both of them to the reMarkable for each template you want to use!

It's probably easiest to use the reMarkable Connection Utility or Remarkable Assistant to add the templates to your tablet.

If you want to do it more manually, use an SCP client to copy the files to /usr/share/remarkable/templates/ on the reMarkable, then add entries for them to /usr/share/remarkable/templates/templates.json.

If you have templatectl installed, you can use one or more of the following commands:

templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid 1/8" P' --filename 'P_Engineering_Imperial' --category Grids --icon_code e99e
templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid 1/8" LS' --filename 'LS_Engineering_Imperial' --category Grids --icon_code e9fa --landscape
templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid Log-Log P' --filename 'P_Engineering_Log' --category Grids --icon_code e99e
templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid Log-Log LS' --filename 'LS_Engineering_Log' --category Grids --icon_code e9fa
templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid Semilog P' --filename 'P_Engineering_Semilog' --category Grids --icon_code e99e
templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid Semilog LS' --filename 'LS_Engineering_Semilog' --category Grids --icon_code e9fa
templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid 2mm P' --filename 'P_Engineering_Metric_2mm' --category Grids --icon_code e99e
templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid 2mm LS' --filename 'LS_Engineering_Metric_2mm' --category Grids --icon_code e9fa --landscape
templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid 5mm P' --filename 'P_Engineering_Metric_5mm' --category Grids --icon_code e99e
templatectl add --name 'Engineering Grid 5mm LS' --filename 'LS_Engineering_Metric_5mm' --category Grids --icon_code e9fa --landscape

Otherwise, you'll have to edit /usr/share/remarkable/templates/templates.json by hand and add the following JSON text. (Add the text between one }, line and the following { line.)
