2.1 Grids

A grid is a data container that holds a value at every point in a three dimensional lattice. The simplest type of value to hold is a floating point value. In OEGrid, these are called OEScalarGrids. OEScalarGrids are inherently cubic.

The following is the minimum amount of data needed to define a grid:

Dimension
The number of grid points per axis
Midpoint
The center of the grid in Cartesian space
Spacing
The length between grid points

OESkewGrids are provided to represent grids with non-orthogonal axes.
