| Question (please see the attached): I utilized your script on a transparent
background but end up with an "open" grid on the right side and an "open"
bottom even though I specified a border. I would like to close it up with
a border, is it something I am doing wrong? I used numbers of vertical and
horizontal lines as well as specified "no" and still get the same results.
My canvas is 700 x 150. Thank you.

With the previous "number of lines" approach, adding a border
resulted in a symmetric image because the original image was
also symmetrical. (Tiny few-pixel images are an exception.) When
"space between lines" is used, the result need not be symmetrical.
What should be happening to the border in this latter case?
Should it be unsymmetrical, symmetrical but partly outside the
image canvas, absent entirely, or something else?

I'm having trouble understanding what you did to get this, could you please post
the answers you made to each of the prompts so I can replicate your results?
I might change the script to add a 'print' for each prompt, that way people can
copy and paste from the script window to show exactly what they used to get a
particular effect...

If you're asking how I programmed it, I decided not to use a border, as it could
result in lines being too close together along the edges of the image. For this
reason, I gave the user a choice as the where the start position of the grid
should be, so they can line it up to any side, part of the grid (try setting
this to the middle of the grid for a symmetrical result).
If you're asking what the ideal thing to happen would be, well that's for you to
answer, and for me to consider changing, if need be :)

I think she may have moved the lines manually on the vector layer...

I'm only asking how it is intended to work :) Without knowing
that it's hard to say if it's behaving as expected.

Oops, spot the deliberate mistake... the arrows are pointing at the wrong
line.

When you run the script it uses whatever line style was set in the
Pen tool at the time. If that happens to be an arrow, for instance,
or something more exotic like barbed wire, the result is a bit
bizarre. Perhaps the script could warn about that, set a particular
line style, or ask which of the sensible default line styles you
want. (Sensible to me are solid, dashed, dotted, and permutations
thereof.) Or else one could just teach oneself to remember to set
a sane line style before running the script :)

To test this I changed the Line to a dotted line, but when I ran the script
it reverted to the solid line.
I am using version 2.1.
I can change the lines later, for fun effects, but the default is a solid
line.

| I think it just uses the default line style in PSP. Perhaps your default is
different...?
I got the same results as Joelle.

My mistake. I seem to have run an earlier version of the script
instead of v2.1. I didn't spot that the subject changed part way
through the thread from v2.0 to v2.1. There is one problem in
the v2.1 script. It won't run in PSP 9 unless you change all the
PSPUtils references to JascUtils. (That amounts to two places,
i.e. import PSPUtils and PSPUtils.RequireADoc.) You might want
to issue an official v2.2 with those changes.
