Dear Kwanters,
    The  kwant.continuum.discretize helps transform a continuous k.p 
Hamiltonian to a tight-binding Hamiltonian. During this discretizing process, 
we can use the "grid" parameter to control the "mesh" of such a discretization. 
    In the tutorial, I see that different "grid" result in different 
approximations of the tight-binding Hamiltonian with respect to the continuous 
Hamiltonian.
    See https://kwant-project.org/doc/1/tutorial/discretize
    My question is: which value of grid should we use during the discretizing 
process? Should we decrease the "grid" from a larger value to a smaller value, 
monitoring the band structure and conductance behavior, until the band 
structure and conductance behavior remain almost unchanged when further 
decreasing the "grid"? 
    Thanks a lot for your answer.
