Linear File Format

Linear surface files are ASCII text files containing an a 1d series of points defining a 2d linear surface. An example of formatting and an explanation are shown below:

 964 1                                       // number of points (integer), and number of dimensions (integer).
 1.00025907935605 0.000235826417328293 0     // 3 doubles per line for X, Y, Z coordinates of each point.

 ...                                         // file truncated for space

Notes:

The number of dimensions must be 1 for a 2 dimensional surface.

The 3rd double representing Z on each line is ignored by GridPro 2D, but it is included for the sake of compatability with 3D.
