It has been a very long time to remember how I reasoned to that 25. But believe me, if I could find a way to calculate it using things like sysmetric, then I would use that. All I know, I am using that class heavily since years, and the grids are fitting very well inside their containers.

You can download and use FoxyClasses from below link if you want to (it comes with all the source code that you can read or modify) - and LocatorGrid might simply be what you are trying to do, check its samples and help.
