How to create an image of a grid of horizontal lines

[jparnold]

I am trying to create an image which contains ONLY horizontal lines which have a thickness of 5.0 and are equidistant apart in an image which is 4096 X 4096 pixels and wondering if there is a faster method than manually creating each line. There is to be 33 horizontals lines equidistant apart. Sorry 33 doesn't work should be 32
Something like this (the top line should be at the very top of the image) -

Scripts would be the absolute fastest. All it takes is a loop and a little math.

But if you aren't already familiar with scripting the next fastest is what you're doing. First create four lines. Then select all four of them at once and duplicate them in one go, positioning the new group into place. Do the same with the 8 lines you have and you now have 16 lines, do it once more for a total of 32 lines.

Try this script:

Grid_DrawnOnVectorLayer.zip

Vertical and horizontal lines are drawn.
When done, it is easy to delete the vertical lines in the Layers Palette.

PERFECT. Thanks a lot. I didn't have to delete vertical lines as the prompt allows entry of 0 (zero) for vertical lines.

The number of horizontal lines prompt had me tricked at first until I worked out (from trial and error) that the top and bottom lines are not drawn or included.

Here is part of an image showing before and after adding the horizontals lines (I just wanted the image to show wider gaps between the planks).
