Subject: data files

Nick:
I'll append two ascii files.

coords has two simple lists:
the number of x -coordinates (%i), followed by
the x-coordinates (%6.2f\n),  followed by
the number of y coordinates (%i), followed by
the y-coordinates (%6.2f\n)

The x-coordinates are in meters and cover the range (approximately) -2 
to +2,
the y coordinates are in radians (-\pi to +\pi)


flux  has a string of 'flux' value snap shots (31 of them covering 
0:20:600 seconds),
and are in watts/m^2.

The file begins with the number of snapshots ('%i\n')

Each snapshot begins with a
time =     0.00 line ('time = %8.2f\n') time in seconds

The data values are then written out in y-order using
'%12.8f  %12.8f %12.8f  %12.8f %12.8f  %12.8f \n'

Thus the first 24 flux values are at x = -1.98 m, with y values ranging 
from
(approximately) (-\pi to +\pi). These coordinates are actually the 
centers of
a covering by rectangles. The y-spacing is uniform but the x spacing is 
not.

I hope this makes sense. Let me know if there are problems.

Thanks for your help
