op is not inclusive. However, if the step length is a **complex number** (e.g. 5j), then the integer part of its magnitude is interpreted as specifying the number of points to create between the start and stop values, where the stop value **is inclusive**. If instantiated with an argument of ``sparse=True``, the mesh-grid is open (or not fleshed out) so that only one-dimension of each returned argument is greater than 1. Parameters ---------- sparse : bool, optional Whether the grid is sparse or not. Default is False. Notes ----- Two instances of `nd_grid` are made available in the NumPy namespace, `mgrid` and `ogrid`, approximately defined as:: mgrid = nd_grid(sparse=False) ogrid = nd_grid(sparse=True) Users should use these pre-defined instances instead of using `nd_grid` directly. ©
