;  @param in2 {in}{required}  the name of the variable that contains the longitude in the NetCDF file
;  @param in3 {in}{required}  the name of the variable that contains the latitude in the NetCDF file
;  @param in4  {out} the number of points in the longitudinal direction
;  @param in5  {out} the number of points in the latitudinal direction
; @param in6 {out} the variable that will contain the longitudes
;  @param in7  {out} the variable that will contain the latitudes
;  @param in8 {out} 1 or 2 to specify if lon and lat should be 1D (jpi or jpj)
;
; or 
;
; 2) 
; @param in1 {in}{required}  1d or 2D arrays defining longitudes and latitudes. 
; @param in2 {in}{required}  1d or 2D arrays defining longitudes and latitudes. 
;    Note that these arrays are also outputs and can therefore be modified. 

; @param in1 {out} the variable that will contain the longitudes
;  @param in2  {out} the variable that will contain the latitudes
;  @param in3  {in} the number of points in the longitudinal direction
;  @param in4  {in} the number of points in the latitudinal direction
;  @param in5 {in} 1 or 2 to specify if lon and lat should be 1D (jpi or jpj)
;    arrays or 2D arrays (jpi,jpj). Note that of  n_dimensions = 1, then the
;    grid must be regular (each longitudes must be the same for all latitudes
;    and each latitudes should be the sae for all longitudes).
