.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies the integer value for grid domain variable $i$.
_phead(_param2)
Specifies the integer value for grid domain variable $j$
(_cmnd(EvalPoint2) only).
.SH DESCRIPTION
_cmnd(MapGrid) and _cmnd(EvalMesh) are used in tandem to efficiently
generate and evaluate a series of evenly spaced map domain values.
_cmnd can be used to evaluate a single grid point in the same gridspace
that is traversed by _cmnd(EvalMesh).
Calling _cmnd(EvalPoint1) 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 _cmnd(MapGrid1) 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, _cmnd(EvalPoint2), 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 _cmnd(MapGrid2) command.
Then the _cmnd(EvalPoint2) 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 $v sub 2$.
