ParaView Update

Due to the latest ParaView update to version 4.2, a few filters have now different parameters. The examples have been adapted to this. Unfortunately, this means that the updated examples will not run in earlier versions of ParaView, and vice versa.
However, you are strongly encouraged to update to the latest ParaView version anyway, so this should not be a major issue.

Re-naming

atmos_grids is now grids, and atmos_basic is now basic. This is due to the fact that this package has become much more general.
Add?Plane(), with ?=X,Y, or Z, has been consolidated into one function called AddGridPlane().
Add?Label(), with ?=X,Y, or Z, has been consolidated into one function called AddGridLabel().

Re-arrangement

Lin2Log() and BoundAspectRatio() have been moved from atmos_basic to atmos_grids (or rather to grids): This is where they belong and are used.
Also, pv_atmos.basic and pv_atmos.grids can now be imported completely independently. This is a big step forward in terms of installing pv_atmos as a python module.

New functions

Several important functions have been added to pv_atmos.basic:

Make3D

If you happen to have a 2D file (say, longitude latitude), which contains a field that should rather be a third dimension (say, ocean depth), then Make3D will do this for you. Simply feed the function with the name of the variable, and the axis along which it should be expanded, and you're done.
As everything, works with aspect ratio manipulation and logarithmic coordinates.

Some smaller changes are:

TransformCoords

Added a function to perform aspect ratio and/or logarithmic transformations of the coordinates. This makes it unnecessary to add an if-statement to check if it's logarithmic or not.

Sphere2xyz

Converts spherical geometry (radius, lambda, phi) into Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z). Useful for placing any object (label, camera, etc.) onto a spherical object.
This function also computes the normal along the radial direction, which can be fed to a camera, or to orientate any object perpendicularly to the surface of the sphere.

xyz2Sphere

The inverse function of Sphere2xyz. Given Cartesian position, compute the radius and spherical angles.
