// =============================================================
//
// This scene file demonstrates the vector analysis macros in
// 'math.inc'. In the upper half the basis function is
// displayed. The lower left shows the length of the gradient
// returned by the fn_Gradient() macro. The box on the lower
// right is textured with the directional gradient in y
// direction calculated with the fn_Gradient_Directional()
// macro, positive values in blue color, negative values in
// green color. The whole picture is covered with a
// rectangular grid of arrows pointing in direction of the
// gradient vector and demonstrating use of the vGradient()
// macro.
