grid pattern of squares Explanation: It might be either (say) a white sheet with a criss-cross pattern of black lines on it (or vice-versa!) — or the use of 'grid' might imply something transparent, as would presumably be needed for the front one! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2017-09-01 08:12:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Asker, I don't think it would be anything like your link, since that is a metal grid or mesh that has a structured, 3-dimensional aspect to it that is unnecessary, indeed arguably undesirable. Here, it seems to be being used simply as a visual reference; there is nothing in your context nor inherently in the word 'grid' to dictate what actual form it may take — we can infer that the rear one COULD be opaque, while the front one almost certainly needs to be transparent. The only thing we can say about the word 'grid' is that it admits of the possibility of its being transparent or even open-mesh; perhaps other terms might have ruled out the possiiblity, or made it obvious. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2017-09-01 08:15:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here is one kind of 'grid' being used simply as a background for photographing something (the object itself is irrelevant!) http://www.ereplacementparts.com/images/part_p_1438173_21512... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2017-09-01 08:16:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think you need to consider this more from the POV of a visual 'pattern of squares' than of a functional 'mesh'. |
