\label{GRID_DESCRIPTION}
In the following situations it is necessary to give a description of a horizontal grid:
\begin{itemize}
\item Changing the grid description (operator: \htmlref{setgrid}{setgrid})
\item Horizontal interpolation (all remapping operators)

\subsubsection{Predefined grids}
Predefined grids are available for global regular, gaussian or icosahedral-hexagonal GME grids.
Predefined grids are available for global regular, gaussian, HEALPix or icosahedral-hexagonal GME grids.
% They have the following predefined grid names:
%\texttt{r<NX>x<NY>}, \texttt{lon=<LON>/lat=<LAT>}, \texttt{n<N>} and \texttt{gme<NI>}

\texttt{gme<NI>} defines a global icosahedral-hexagonal GME grid.
\texttt{NI} specifies the number of intervals on a main triangle side.
\subsubsection*{HEALPix grid: \texttt{hp<NSIDE>[b][\_<ORDER>]}}
HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization of a sphere.
\texttt{hp<NSIDE>[b][\_<ORDER>]} defines a global HEALPix grid.
The resolution is defined by the NSIDE parameter, which is generally a power of 2.
NSIZE=1 generates the HEALPix base partitioning of the sphere surface into 12 (H=4, K=3) equal sized pixels.
\texttt{ORDER} describes the ordering of the pixels. Available are nest (default) or ring ordering.
If the parameter \texttt{b} is set, the grid cell corners are also calculated.
\subsubsection{Grids from data files}
You can use the grid description from an other datafile.
