Basically a service routine for 'vis.gam' and 'plot.gam'. _U_s_a_g_e: exclude.too.far(g1,g2,d1,d2,dist) _A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s: g1: co-ordinates of grid relative to first axis. g2: co-ordinates of grid relative to second axis. d1: co-ordinates of data relative to first axis. d2: co-ordinates of data relative to second axis. dist: how far away counts as too far. Grid and data are first scaled so that the grid lies exactly in the unit square, and 'dist' is a distance within this unit square. _D_e_t_a_i_l_s: Linear scalings of the axes are first determined so that the grid defined by the nodes in 'g1' and 'g2' lies exactly in the unit square (i.e. on [0,1] by [0,1]). These scalings are applied to 'g1', 'g2', 'd1' and 'd2'. The minimum Euclidean distance from each node to a datum is then determined and if it is greater than 'dist' the corresponding entry in the returned array is set to 'TRUE' (otherwise to 'FALSE'). The distance calculations are performed in compiled code for speed without storage overheads. _V_a_l_u_e: A logical array with 'TRUE' indicating a node in the grid defined by 'g1', 'g2' that is `too far' from any datum. _A_u_t_h_o_r(_s): Simon N.
