PFVT mesh regrade

From CFD-Wiki

function y=regrade(x,a,e)
%REGRADE  grade nodal points in array towards edge or center
%
% Regrades array of points
%
% Usage: regrade(x,a,e)
% x is array of nodal point coordinates in increasing order.
% a is parameter which controls grading.
% e selects side or sides for refinement.
%
% if e=0: refine both sides, 1: refine upper, 2: refine lower.
%
% if a=1 then return xarray unaltered.
% if a<1 then grade towards the edge(s)
% if a>1 then grade away from edge.
