Trying to create tiled clones of a line along columns (e.g. 1 row,
10 columns), I can set the x-translation to any percentage, but all
clones end up on top of each other. The operation works fine for
rectangles, and even if I convert the stroke to a path, but it does
not work for lines by themselves. Vertical translation works fine
for vertical lines. I have not tried horizontal lines.
