line render some lines not visible

Question

hello

I want to draw a grid on a panel using line render this is the code which i use to draw the lines

 public class paint_grid : MonoBehaviour
 {
 
     private int tempXTiles;
     private int tempYTiles;
     private float tempPanelY;
     private float tempPanelX;
     private int screenX;
     private int screenY;
     private float size;
     private LineRenderer line;
 
     public int xTiles;
     public int yTiles;
     public LineRenderer prefabline;
     public Material lineBlack;
     public Material lineWhite;
 
     // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start()
     {
         RectTransform panel = gameObject.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
 
         line = Instantiate(prefabline,transform);
         line.material = lineBlack;
         drawGrid(panel);
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
         RectTransform panel = gameObject.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
         if (tempXTiles != xTiles || tempYTiles != yTiles || screenX != Screen.width || screenY != Screen.height) {
             drawGrid(panel);
 
         }
        
     }
 
     private void drawGrid(RectTransform panel) {
         
         tempPanelX = panel.rect.width;
         tempPanelY = panel.rect.height;
 
         float xSize = tempPanelX / xTiles;
         float ySize = tempPanelY / yTiles;
 
         if( xSize < ySize) {
             size = xSize;
         }
         else {
             size = ySize;
         }
 
         // tiles +1 = linen anzahl 
         // tiles = verbindungslinen anzahl
         // +2 für anfangspunkt und endpunkt
         int lineCount = (yTiles + 1 + yTiles + xTiles + 1 + xTiles) +2;
         line.positionCount = lineCount;
         Vector3[] v3 = new Vector3[lineCount];
         float y = size * yTiles;
         int yt1 = 0;
         int yt2 = 1;
         int xt1 = 0;
         float x=0;
         int i;
         for (i =0; i< (yTiles + 1 + yTiles +1);) {
 
 
             x = x + ((xt1 ) * size);
             v3[i] = new Vector3(x , yt1 *(-y) , 0);
 
             // Reihenfolge: 0 1 1 0 0 1 1...
             yt1 = (yt1 + yt2) % 2;
 
             yt2 = (  yt2 + 1) % 2;
 
             // Reiehenfolge: 0 0 1 0 1...
             xt1 = i % 2;
             i = i + 1;
         }
         y = size * xTiles;
         yt1 = 0;
         yt2 = 1;
         xt1 = 0;
         x = 0;
         for (; i < lineCount;) {
 
             x = x + ((xt1) * size);
             v3[i] = new Vector3(yt1 * (y), -x,  0);
 
             // Reihenfolge: 0 1 1 0 0 1 1...
             yt1 = (yt1 + yt2) % 2;
 
             yt2 = (yt2 + 1) % 2;
 
             // Reiehenfolge: 0 0 1 0 1...
             xt1 = i % 2;
             i = i + 1;
 
         }
         line.SetPositions(v3);
 
         screenX = Screen.width;
         screenY = Screen.height;
         tempXTiles = xTiles;
         tempYTiles = yTiles;
     }
 }

the lines points area all corectly in the the line render, however some lines are not visible while others are just fine. If I set the line size to 2 insteeed of 1 all lines are visible, but then some are ticker than other lines, which shouldn't be. additional Infos: the panel which I draw on is part of a canvas with render mode "Screen Space Camera" the Camera is set to "Ortographic" the material use for the lines is a material with shader "UI/Default" with black oder white color

Does anyone have a tip how i could solve my problem?

i found a script to draw lines without the line render it uses the GUI to draw. It probably is not the best solution but at least it always draws all lines insteed of the line render which only draws half of them.

just try modify this values in the start

              int numCapVertices;
              int numCornerVertices;
             void Update()
             {
                        lr.numCapVertices = numCapVertices;
                        lr.numCornerVertices = numCornerVertices;
                }

              void OnGUI()
               {
                      GUI.Label(new Rect(25, 20, 200, 30), "Num Cap Vertices");
                             numCapVertices = (int)GUI.HorizontalSlider(new Rect(165, 25, 200, 30), 
                             (float)numCapVertices, 0.0f, 20.0f);

                      GUI.Label(new Rect(25, 60, 200, 30), "Num Corner Vertices");
                                      numCornerVertices = (int)GUI.HorizontalSlider(new Rect(165, 65, 200, 30), 
                                      (float)numCornerVertices, 0.0f, 20.0f);
                      }

Now try to adjust values untill you get the best result. in my can numCapVertices is 5 and numCornerVertices is 20.
