%    Starting with an irregular physical boundary on a conformal
% (angle-preserving) projection, such as Mercator, SeaGrid maps it
% to a rectangle, using the conformal "wire-straightening" scheme
% of Ives and Zacharias (1987).  The X coordinates of the former
% are then distributed around the perimeter of the latter.  The
% interior of the rectangle is filled by a fast Poisson solver.
% The process is repeated independently for the Y coordinate.
%    The bathymetry is gridded at the cell-centers, using the Matlab
% "griddata" routine.  The mask is computed at the cell-centers: a
%  cell is considered to be fully on-land if its center is on-land.
