[gradsusr] ctl file for irregular lon and lat dimension

[Jeff Duda]

Keep in mind that it's generally a good idea (but is not strictly required)
that the following relationship is held in the XDEF and YDEF lines:

max_x = min_x + dx*nx
max_y = min_y + dy*ny

What I usually do is find the maximum and minimum latitudes and longitudes
anywhere in the geographic domain and then divide the difference in those
by whatever you set for NX or NY. Use that as the step value. XDEF and YDEF
are largely cosmetic for irregular grids, though. What is most important
for getting your data to show up correctly is having a PDEF entry with the
correct values for whatever your projection is. If your data are not
projected in a way that Grads can support then I'm not sure you can do this
using GrADS.
