Module Grid Calculator

The Grid Calculator calculates a new grid based on existing grids and a mathematical formula. The grid variables are single characters which correspond in alphabetical order to the grid list order ('a' = first grid, 'b' = second grid, ...)
Alternatively you can address with letter 'g' followed by position index (g1, g2, g3, ...). Grids from other systems are addressed similarly, just using letter 'h' (h1, h2, h3, ...)
Examples:
using letters: sin(a) * b + c
the same using indices: sin(g1) * g2 + g3

The following operators are available for the formula definition:
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
^ power
abs(x) - absolute value
sqrt(x) - square root
ln(x) - natural logarithm
log(x) - base 10 logarithm
exp(x) - exponential
sin(x) - sine
cos(x) - cosine
tan(x) - tangent
asin(x) - arcsine
acos(x) - arccosine
atan(x) - arctangent
atan2(x, y) - arctangent of x/y
gt(x, y) - if x>y the result is 1.0, else 0.0
lt(x, y) - if x<y the result is 1.0, else 0.0
eq(x, y) - if x=y the result is 1.0, else 0.0
mod(x, y) - returns the floating point remainder of x/y
ifelse(c, x, y) - if c=1 the result is x, else y
int(x) - integer part of floating point value x
pi() - returns the value of Pi
xpos(), ypos() - get the x/y coordinates of the current cell
row(), col() - get the current cell's column/row index
