The Ey values are positioned on the y-edges of the base
grid, but they represent the Ey field in a volume that
contains (but isn't necessarily centered on) the points
at which they are defined.
~------------ ----------------- -----------~
dx'[-1] dx'[0] dx'[1]
Here, the 'Ey' labels represent the same points as before;
the grid lines _|:/ are edges of the area represented
by each Ey value, and the lines drawn using m.w represent
areas where a cell's faces extend beyond the drawn area
(i.e. where the drawing is truncated in the z-direction).
The Ex values are positioned on the x-faces of the base
grid. They represent the Ex field in volumes shifted by
a half-cell in the x-dimension, as shown here. Only the
center cell is fully shown; the other two are truncated
(shown using >< markers).
Note that the Ex positions are the in the same positions
as the previous figure; only the cell boundaries have moved.
Also note that the points at which Ex is defined are not
necessarily centered in the volumes they represent; non-
uniform cell sizes result in off-center volumes like the
center cell here.

The Hy values are positioned on the y-edges of the base
grid. Again here, the 'Hy' labels represent the same points
as in the basic grid figure above; the edges have shifted
by a half-cell along the x- and z-axes.
The grid lines _|:/ are edges of the area represented by
each Hy value, and the lines drawn using <m>.w represent
edges where a cell's faces extend beyond the drawn area
(i.e. where the drawing is truncated in the x- or z-
directions).
