Geographical Curvilinear Grid library.
This is an object oriented
library for distorted grid objects. These are common in 3d visualization
but the distinguishing factor here is that a GCLgrid is
geographically referenced. Points in a grid have both a Cartesian and
Geographical equivalent. The data are actually stored in a Cartesian
format to allow common distorted grid algorithms to work. Geographical
elements are added through member functions that convert to a
geographical reference frame. The concepts of the library are described in
a paper by Fan and Pavlis (in review, 2005 or 2006 publication date).
