Makegrid JSX

This document contains code for a Photoshop script that adds a grid to the current or new document based on an array of guide positions. It displays a dialog box asking the user if they want to add the grid to the current document or create a new one. If creating a new document, it sets the document size and ruler units before adding the guides defined in the array.
