O.K. - you really meant "lines". I had mistakenly thought you were talking 
about the pixel-width, which you claimed to be 1054 before, which would have
made me wonder 1. why it went _down_ when you wanted to bump it up to 1068
and 2. how to measure that.

It won't work. GPM is just not designed for it. EvStack was able to do it ...
