// tau the third member of (mu,nu,phi) (the one which
// is neither rho nor sigma)
+// (px,py) plotting coordinates, defined in terms of (mu,nu,phi)
+// see "patch.hh" for details
+//
+// We also use prefixes on coordinates, eg.
+// irho integer grid coordinate
+// rho floating point angular coordinate, measured in radians
+// drho floating point angular coordinate, measured in degrees
+// I/O uses the degree coordinates in preference to radian ones.
