I did this with lines.

Using C++ (and some awkward multiple inheritance) I created a whole
heirarchy of canvas items that can snap to the grid, or to rules. That's
in Glom. for its (unfinished) print layouts. If you are using C then
it's probably not that useful to you, but maybe it helps to know that
somebody else has done this.

I think this kind of high-level functionality should be in a library
really.
