The user provides a grid, in the same manner as the Construct module with
origin, deltas, counts. The module simple goes through the scattered data
set and puts the data value on the closest grid point.  If more than 2
points share a grid point then the average value is taken. 

The module does not provide much benefit if there are much fewer scattered
points than number of grid points. But I have seen several data sets where
the number of scattered points is rather large, around the number of grid
points or more. In some case the scattered data points were actually
originally defined on a grid. Those people get frustrated with the time it
takes to run Regrid or Connect. This is just quick method of getting
scattered data onto a grid.
