Help for GENGRID
PURPOSE
GENGRID creates an ibis file containing a grid in the first two
columns. The user can select the number of columns if more than four
are desired (all will be double precision). If other types of columns
are desired (say character), they can be joined in the usual way.
To turn the grid into a geom grid, two more columns must be
provided by the user, usually by mapping the first two columns with
PIXMAP using a reference (mapped) image, or by applying PICMTCH4 to
a pair of images.
CALL

OPERATION

by the routine MF3.
