Vector Shape - Create Grid

This custom handler will create a grid pattern. One key thing to remember with all vector shapes is that there is a size limit of 2798 pixels wide or high. The first four parameters are self-explanatory. The last one, autoSize, when set to True, will set the width and height of the rows and colums to fit within the width and height specified... otherwise, the width and height are the values for each grid so a 25px by 25 px grid square at 5x5 squares would be 125x125 pixels wide by high... but with autoSize, if width and heigh were set to 100 each and the number of columns and rows were set to 4 and 5 then an individual square would be 25x20.

on createGrid (width, height, rows, cols, autoSize)      vertList = []      if autoSize then     w = width / float(rows)     h = height / float(cols)   else       w = width     h = height   end if      baseRect = [[#vertex: point(0, 0)], [#vertex: point(w, 0)], [#vertex: point(w, h)], [#vertex: point(0, h)]]      rows = rows - 1   cols = cols - 1      repeat with x = 0 to rows     repeat with y = 0 to cols       thePoint = point(w * x, h * y)       repeat with i in baseRect         vertList.add(i + thePoint)       end repeat       vertList.add([#newCurve])     end repeat   end repeat   vertList.deleteAt(vertList.count)      return vertList    end
