Implementation of the recently discussed spacemask spec. See the
doc/documentation.tex for details. The existing mask grid-function (emask) has been retained for the time being, until the excision related thorns can be brought up to date with the new interface. These thorns should see no change in their behaviour. In the meantime, the space_mask GF can be used simultaneously via the new interfaces. git-svn-id: http://svn.cactuscode.org/arrangements/CactusNumerical/SpaceMask/trunk@15 a491c6a4-70bf-4b89-8b36-d6c0cb1f094e

Cactus Code Thorn SpaceMask
-Authors : Tom Goodale
+Authors : Denis Pollney
CVS info : $Header$
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose of the thorn:
-This will provide two integer grid functions
-
-space_mask
-space_table_field
-
-the first one will be a bitmask describing the point, with one bit
-indicating that there is extra data in a table the handle of which can be
-found in the corresponding point in the space_table_field.
-
-Thorns interested in the mask should inherit from this implementation.
-
-There may also be aliased query functions provided.
+Provides utilities for assigning states to individual grid points
+using a mask grid function.
