/** @brief
 * An algorithm that generates a teca_cartesian_mesh of the requested
 * spatial and temporal dimensions with optional user defined fields.
 *
 * @details
 * User defined fields are specified by passing callbacks and metadata
 * via field_generator and append_field_generator
 *
 * The spatial and temporal dimensions are set by the combination of
 *  whole_extent and  bounds.
 *
 * The names of coordinate axes are set by the combination
 * of  x_axis_variable,  y_axis_variable,  z_axis_variable,
 * and  t_axis_variable
 *
 * The units of the coordinate axes are set by the combination of
 *  x_axis_units,  y_axis_units,  z_axis_units,  calendar,
 * and  time_units.
