[Up] Parameters

un
Specifies the number of partitions in the grid range interval [u1, u2]. Must be positive.
u1, u2
Specify the mappings for integer grid domain values i=0 and i=un.
vn
Specifies the number of partitions in the grid range interval [v1, v2] (glMapGrid2 only).
v1, v2
Specify the mappings for integer grid domain values j=0 and j=vn (glMapGrid2 only).

[Up] Description

glMapGrid and glEvalMesh are used together to efficiently generate and evaluate a series of evenly-spaced map domain values. glEvalMesh steps through the integer domain of a one- or two-dimensional grid, whose range is the domain of the evaluation maps specified by glMap1 and glMap2.

glMapGrid1 and glMapGrid2 specify the linear grid mappings between the i (or i and j) integer grid coordinates, to the u (or u and v) floating-point evaluation map coordinates. See glMap1 and glMap2 for details of how u and v coordinates are evaluated.

glMapGrid1 specifies a single linear mapping such that integer grid coordinate 0 maps exactly to u1, and integer grid coordinate un maps exactly to u2. All other integer grid coordinates i are mapped so that

u = i (u2 - u1) / un + u1

glMapGrid2 specifies two such linear mappings. One maps integer grid coordinate i=0 exactly to u1, and integer grid coordinate i="un" exactly to u2. The other maps integer grid coordinate j=0 exactly to v1, and integer grid coordinate j=vn exactly to v2. Other integer grid coordinates i and j are mapped such that

u = i (u2 - u1) / un + u1
v = j (v2 - v1) / vn + v1

The mappings specified by glMapGrid are used identically by glEvalMesh and glEvalPoint.
