+By default, the basis with respect to which the tensor components are
+given is supposed to be the (local) coordinate system given by the
+grid, i.e., the coordinate directions are the ``natural'' directions
+of the grid. It is possible to specify a different basis by declaring
+a \emph{tensor basis}, which is the name of a grid function group
+containing the coordinate system.
