function  S = gridsamp(range, q)
%GRIDSAMP  n-dimensional grid over given range

% Call:    S = gridsamp(range, q)
%
% range :  2*n matrix with lower and upper limits
% q     :  n-vector, q(j) is the number of points
%          in the j'th direction.
%          If q is a scalar, then all q(j) = q
% S     :  m*n array with points, m = prod(q)
