#!N #!EC #!N #!N In addition to the syntaxes for the 
grid, points, and positions keywords described in IBM Visualization Data Explorer 
QuickStart Guide, it is also possible to derive information for these 
keywords directly from the data file. This allows you to write 
"filters" for specific applications that output their data in a set 
format which includes the grid size within the file. #!N #!N 
The syntax for the grid keyword is (in addition to the 
syntax given in  #!Lsydfgi,dxall139 h Header File Syntax: Keyword Statements  #!EL  in IBM Visualization Data Explorer QuickStart Guide):

are optional and should be used when two pieces of information 
are on the same line with other information separating them (see 
Example 2). If necessary, different portions of the grid specification can 
be read separately by repeating the bytes, lines, or marker specification 
(see Example 3). #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N #!N #!N #!N
