Take a scale which is symmetrical on the neck like a half whole diminished scale.The intervals from any starting point are H,W,H,W etc.Let us assume you start plotting the notes from G.The notes will be G,Ab,Bb,B etc.Continue on all strings on all twelve frets and you will get a lattice of dots. You will notice the 4 major triads that make up the 8 notes of this symmetrical scale.Namely G,Bb,C# and E.Not only will you get the shapes of all the 4 triads all over the neck you will observe some amazing patterns and lines you can flick for free :). This scale can be used on a G altered chord for starters.Circle all the triads with a colored pen. And learn all the primary shapes. This is a simple way to see the way a guitar is laid out geometrically.So plot away. Get an excel sheet printed with the fretboard and make photocopies. Use this for your scale charting R&D :)
