; IDL> ncdf_meshread [,' filename']
; 
;    @param filename {in}{optional} the name of the meshmask file to read. Default is
;    meshmask.nc. if this name does not contain any / and if
;    iodirectory keyword is not specify, then the common variable
;    iodir will be use to define the mesh file path.
;
;    @keyword GLAMBOUNDARY a 2 elements vector, {lon1,lon2], the longitute
;    boundaries that should be used to visualize the data.
;      lon2 > lon1
;      lon2 - lon1 le 360
;    key_shift will be automaticaly defined according to GLAMBOUNDARY.
;
;    @keyword /CHECKDAT Suppressed. Use micromeshmask.pro to create an
;    appropriate meshmask.
;
;    @keyword ONEARTH = 0 or 1 to force the manual definition of
;    key_onearth (to specify if the data are on earth -> use longitude
;    /latitude etc...). By default, key_onearth = 1.
;    note that ONEARTH = 0 forces PERIODIC = 0, SHIFT = 0 and is
;    cancelling GLAMBOUNDARY
;
;    @keyword PERIODIC = 0 or 1 to force the manual definition of
;    key_periodic. By default, key_periodic is automaticaly
;    computed by using the first line of glamt.
;
;    @keyword SHIFT  to force the manual definition of key_shift. By
;    debault, key_shift is automaticaly computed according to the
;    glamboundary (when defined) by using the first line of glamt. if
;    key_periodic=0 then in any case key_shift = 0. 
;
;    @keyword STRCALLING a string containing the calling command used to call
;    computegrid (this is used by xxx.pro)
;
;    @keyword STRIDE a 3 elements vector to specify the stride in x, y, z
;    direction. Default definition is key_stride. The resulting value
;    will be stored in the common (cm_4mesh) variable key_stride
;
; @uses cm_4mesh cm_4data cm_4cal
;
; @restrictions define and/or use common variables from 
;               cm_4mesh, cm_4data, cm_4cal
;
; @restrictions
;
;  ixminmesh,ixmaxmesh,iyminmesh,iymaxmesh,izminmesh,izmaxmesh must
;  be defined febore calling ncdf_meshread. if some of those value
;  are equal to -1 they will be automatically defined

;                      12/1999
; July 2004, Sebastien Masson: Several modifications (micromeshmask,
; clean partial steps, clean use of key_stride, automatic definition
; of key_shift, ...)
; Oct. 2004, Sebastien Masson: add PERIODIC and SHIFT
; Aug. 2005, Sebastien Masson: some cleaning + english
