I am looking to deepen my understanding of how the skew function operates within the Rectangular Grid tool in Adobe Illustrator. Specifically, I would like to know how the grid lines are arranged when the skew is set to 50% towards the top in a grid of 100 by 100 points. Could you please provide a detailed explanation of this concept, including how the skew percentage influences the distribution of grid lines and how they would be spaced in this scenario? An example would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The Skew setting defines the percentaged increase / decrease of the distance between (adjacent) horizontal or vertical dividers.

Sorry, but no. I can't. I am a user just like you. I am not an engineer and I do not work for Adobe. As Ton said, if someone knows they will answer.
