However, it needs to be completely horizontal across the whole window and cycle from from bottom to top with a number box controlling the rate of this cycle.

I've looked all morning and I can't seem to find anything similar.

Any help, or suggestions of particular objects or tutorials, would be hugely appreciated.

I need a line like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmvKK33f2H0.

I hope that makes sense.

first check out the new Video and Graphics tutorials installed with max 7.2. (found under Help->Reference->Documentation Home, links on the bottom of the left grey ‘Contents’ sidebar)

then try and make something with a jit.world and a jit.gl.gridshape @shape plane @scale 1 0.1 1

that would make a verrry nice 2d (or even 3d) modulation LFO.

I had a go with jit.gl.gridshape, but I couldn't work out how to create just a simple line, the shapes are too complex for what I need.

METAMAX, the method you have provided is really useful. However, I'm having trouble making a integer box which controls the rate of the line moving down the whole screen. I'm using [line] to automate the movement, but I can't work out how to use it in a way in which I can change the time it takes to complete the action. Am I right in thinking [Line] can't do this? Which object would be best?
