Specifies the integer value for grid domain variable $i$.
.TP
\f2j\fP
Specifies the integer value for grid domain variable $j$
(\%\f3glEvalPoint2\fP only).
.SH DESCRIPTION
\%\f3glMapGrid\fP and \%\f3glEvalMesh\fP are used in tandem to efficiently
generate and evaluate a series of evenly spaced map domain values.
\%\f3glEvalPoint\fP can be used to evaluate a single grid point in the same gridspace
that is traversed by \%\f3glEvalMesh\fP.
Calling \%\f3glEvalPoint1\fP is equivalent to calling
.nf
.IP
\f7
glEvalCoord1( i$^cdot^DELTA u ~+~ u sub 1$ );
\fP
.RE
.fi
where
.sp
.in
$DELTA u ~=~ ( u sub 2 - u sub 1 ) ^/^ n$
.in 0
.sp
.P
and $n$, $u sub 1$, and $u sub 2$
are the arguments to the most recent \%\f3glMapGrid1\fP command.
The one absolute numeric requirement is that if $i~=~n$,
then the value computed from
$i ^cdot^ DELTA u ~+~ u sub 1$ is exactly $u sub 2$.
.P
In the two-dimensional case, \%\f3glEvalPoint2\fP, let
.nf
.IP
$DELTA u ~=~ mark ( u sub 2 - u sub 1 ) ^/^ n$
.sp
$DELTA v ~=~ mark ( v sub 2 - v sub 1 ) ^/^ m,$
.RE
.fi
.P
where $n$, $u sub 1$, $u sub 2$, $m$, $v sub 1$, and $v sub 2$
are the arguments to the most recent \%\f3glMapGrid2\fP command.
Then the \%\f3glEvalPoint2\fP command is equivalent to calling
.nf
.IP
\f7
glEvalCoord2( i$^cdot^DELTA u ~+~ u sub 1$, j$^cdot^DELTA v ~+~ v sub 1$ );
\fP
.RE
.fi
The only absolute numeric requirements are that if $i~=~n$,
then the value computed from
$i ^cdot^DELTA u ~+~ u sub 1$ is exactly $u sub 2$,
and if $j~=~m$, then the value computed from
$i ^cdot^DELTA v ~+~ v sub 1$ is exactly $v sub 2$.
