Too bad, you cannot see the grid on the picture I sent before. The lines 
are starting at the center of the cells and the dot is at the end of the 
line pointing into the direction. I attached another picture with 
different sized vectors and a visible grid.

A T would probably be faster. I have tried a rectangle instead of the 
dot before, but this looked rather confusing.
