dxmath

dxmath performs simple arithmetic operations with Cartesian grid data.  It is invoked as:

      dx-math <path>

where <path> is the path is the path to a file with operations specified in a stack-based (RPN) manner.  For example, a command file which adds grid1 and grid2, multiplies the result by 5.3, adds grid4, subtracts 99.3 from the whole thing, and writes the result on grid5 would have the form:

 
      grid1
      grid2 +
      5.3 *
      grid4 +
      99.3 -
      grid5 =

The file names, scalar values, and operations must be separated by tabs, line breaks, or white space.  Comments can be included between the character # and a new line (in the usual shell script fashion).
