#### 8.19.2 `\multiput`

Synopsis:

    \multiput(x,y)(delta_x,delta_y){num-copies}{obj}

Copy obj a total of num-copies times, with an increment of delta_x,delta_y. The obj first appears at position (x,y), then at (x+\delta_x,y+\delta_y), and so on.

This draws a simple grid with every fifth line in bold (see also \graphpaper).
