<para>
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMapGrid</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <function>glEvalMesh</function> are used in tandem to efficiently
generate and evaluate a series of evenly-spaced map domain values.
<function>glEvalMesh</function> steps through the integer domain of a one- or two-dimensional grid,
whose range is the domain of the evaluation maps specified by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMap1</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>glMap2</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
<parameter>mode</parameter> determines whether the resulting vertices are connected as
points,
lines,
or filled polygons.

the mesh is generated as if the following code fragment were executed:
