The As described in the section on scalar discrete derivatives above, cell widths along
each axis can be arbitrary and independently defined. Moreover, all field components
are defined at "derived" or "dual" positions, in between the "base" grid points on
one or more axes.

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.
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).
