# Grids and grid functions The submodule `Grids` aims to provide types and logic for all types of grids that are useful for implementing summation-by-parts difference methods. It provides an abstract top level type `Grid` which defines a broad interface for how a general grid is supposed to work. Currently only equidistant grids are supported, but the basic structure supports implementations of curvilinear grids, multi-block grids, periodic grids and much more. The module also has functionality for creating and working with grid functions. ## Interface for grids All grids are expected to work as a grid function for the coordinate function, and thus implements Julia's Indexing- and Iteration-interfaces. Notably they are *not* abstract arrays because that inteface is too restrictive for the types of grids we wish to implement. ## To write about <!-- # TODO: --> * Grid functions * Basic structure * Indexing * Curvilinear * Multiblock * Vector valued grid functions
