that will be a Delaunay triangulation of the probe points 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation, plus the x/y corner points 
of the machine so there's continuity of correction outside the mesh

this will allow for correction of pretty much arbitrary point clouds, not just 
rectangular (which the workpiece might permit or not permit)

the issue at hand is to find/write a robust DT which doesnt rely on 
bleeding-edge self-installed matplotlib, scipy, numpy & friends

the kins module works, so those wanting to write an STL file with some points 
can give it a try
