#!EC #!N #!N The  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   gridpositions #!EF keyword is used to 
represent an  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF -dimensional grid of geometrically regular points 
in a compact form. It is a kind of Array Object 
and can be used in any context where an Array Object 
would be used. It is typically used as a regular positions 
component. The shape of the grid (number of points in each 
dimension) is specified by a list of  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF numbers 
following the optional  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   counts #!EF keyword in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   object 
#!EF clause. The number  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF of items in this 
list determines the dimensionality of the grid. The last item in 
this list corresponds to the fastest varying dimension. #!N #!N A 
grid has an origin, which can be specified by an  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
origin #!EF clause (which lists the  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF coordinates of 
the origin). If the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   origin #!EF clause is not present, 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   origin #!EF defaults to 0. The  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   origin #!EF 
clause can be followed by  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF 
clauses, listing the deltas for each dimension. Each  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF 
clause has  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF elements. The last  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF 
clause corresponds to the fastest varying dimension.  #!Lex1,dxall626 h Example 1. A Regular Grid  #!EL  shows how to 
use the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF clause to specify a grid in 
which  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   z #!EF varies fastest. If the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF 
clauses are not specified, the deltas default to unit vectors in 
each dimension, with the last dimension varying fastest. #!T,54 #!CForestGreen #!N

#!N #!N #!EC #!N #!N The  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   gridpositions #!EF keyword does 
not actually correspond to a primitive Object type in the system, 
but instead is a convenient way of representing an important special 
case of the more general product (Product Array Object) of  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   
n #!EF 1-dimensional Regular Arrays (Regular Array Objects). For most purposes 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   gridpositions #!EF keyword is sufficient and more convenient. The 
more primitive Regular and Product Arrays are described next. #!N #!N
