This example illustrating the importation of scattered data differs from Example 
6 in only a few details, mainly in specifying the number 
of data points instead of the dimensions of a data grid. 
#!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1. In the 
Data Prompter initial dialog box, select  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Grid or Scattered File 
#!EF , then click on the rightmost button (scattered data) in 
the row labeled  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Grid type #!EF . #!N #!I30 #!N

button and set the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Dimension #!EF value to "2." #!N

with the following exception: in Step 7, enter the value "20" 
in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   # of points #!EF field (this change from 
Example 6 is a result of the original selection for scattered 
data in the initial dialog box). #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N
