[pstricks] First try with \multido

[Scott, Randy]

Hi,

I am trying to create a scalable polar grid in PSTricks. This is my first attempt at using \multido. I get the circles and angle labels just fine, but I'm having a hard time with the dotted rays at multiples of pi/12.

I cannot seem to get the cosine and sine of \iRay to compute. I've tried RPN and algebraic, but neither want to work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
