- \multiput(10,90)(5,5){14}{\line(70,0){2.5}}

- .. with a bit of hassle (including a \squareroot macro) you could
- package up a \dashedline macro in straight LaTeX.
-
- however, as someone else has mentioned, if your prepared to produce
- potentially non-portable LaTeX, have a look to see if you dviprocessor
- comes with some special macros to, for example, draw lines directly in
- PostScript or whatever.
