public interface GriddedSurfacePatch
extends SurfacePatch

A GriddedSurfacePatch is a (usually non-planar) parametric SurfacePatch derived from a rectangular grid in the parameter space. The rows from this grid are control points for horizontal surface curves; the columns are control points for vertical surface curves.
