Hi, I am trying to get more into postscript but am currently stuck with something. I want to draw a grid and so far I tried to define a square box like this /box { commands to draw a box } def
and then print the box several times to get a grid. now it was only a small grid like 4² or 9² it would be easy enough just to use the translate-command but if the grid gets larger it would lead into a lot of typing which I am sure can be done simpler. I just haven't found out how. So far I have tried the for-command and getting a single line of the grid is easy. If I try to put a second line it starts where the first has ended though and I don't know how to change it. I thought a simple x y moveto would be enough but it doesn't seem to do anything. I also thought about using an array but I don't really get how they work in PS and I couldn't find good explanations online. If someone can help me out or point me to a good online resource, I'd be very grateful.
