#***convert columns to grid
# The following commented commands are some versions of
# the above command that you might want to try:
#
convert columns to grid         # "default"
#convert columns to grid objective                # As default
#convert columns to grid objective -1.4 -1.4      # As default
#convert columns to grid objective -1.4 -1.4 5 1  # As default
#convert columns to grid objective -1.4 -1.4 5 -1 #  + fill grid
#convert columns to grid objective -2   -2        # Average
#convert columns to grid objective  2    2        #
#convert columns to grid boxcar                   # Ugly
#convert columns to grid boxcar -2 -2             # Still ugly

# You might also want to try uncommenting next
# command to smooth the grid:
#
#smooth grid data
