I would like to plot a family of field lines obtained from a conformal
mapping, as in the following code snippet. Is there a shorter way?

  f = z + I Sinh[z]

  ParametricPlot[{
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u-Pi/2I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u-1.5I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u-1.25I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u-1.0I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u-0.75I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u-0.5I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u-0.25I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u+0I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u+0.25I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u+0.5I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u+0.75I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u+1.0I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u+1.25I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u+1.5I,
                    {Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u+Pi/2I
                 },
                    {u,-3,3}, PlotPoints->700]


I tried (without success) to do it after creating a table in advance:

  n = 1
  t = Table[{Re[f], Im[f]} /. z->u+i/n Pi/2I , {i, -n,n}]
  ParametricPlot[t, {u,-3,3}, PlotPoints->700]

This does not work. Does anyone know an elegant solution?

NB: I do not want the full CartesianMap[F , {-3,3}, {-Pi/2,Pi/2}]
but only one of the two families of lines.

Thanks in advance,
Jos
