+\subsection{Additional information passed in as table options}
+
+The \verb|CCTK_InterpLocalUniform()| API accepts a table handle as one of its
+arguments which can be used to pass additional information to the local
+interpolator via table options.
+
+The only table option supported so far by {\bf LocalInterp}'s {\it "uniform
+cartesian"} operator is the interpolation order which must be
+passed as a CCTK\_INT value with key {\it "order"}. Options with keys
+{\it "N\_boundary\_points\_to\_omit", "boundary\_off\_centering\_tolerance"}, or
+{\it "boundary\_extrapolation\_tolerance"} (which are usually past by a
+global interpolator) are also recognized but silently ignored (a level-4 warning
+message will be issued in this case).
