589	Fixed logic in editmask	arango	arango	"Coded a generic logic in '''matlab/landmask/editmask.m''' to process the coastline data used to determine land/sea masking in realistic applications.  The internal switch '''got_coast''' was not initialized when the coastline file was provided as a second argument. 

For the last few years, we have been adding the coastline data to the GRID NetCDF file into variables '''lon_coast''' and '''lat_coast''':

{{{
dimensions:

        xi_rho = 258 ;
        xi_u = 257 ;
        xi_v = 258 ;
        xi_psi = 257 ;
        eta_rho = 130 ;
        eta_u = 130 ;
        eta_v = 129 ;
        eta_psi = 129 ;
        bath = UNLIMITED ; // (1 currently)
        coast = 11908 ;

variables:

        double lon_coast(coast) ;
                lon_coast:long_name = ""Coastline longitude"" ;
                lon_coast:units = ""degree_east"" ;
        double lat_coast(coast) ;
                lat_coast:long_name = ""Coastline latitude"" ;
                lat_coast:units = ""degree_north"" ;

}}}

This is a very useful strategy:  the coastline data used to compute the land/sea masking for an application is in its GRID NetCDF file.  This data can be also used for plotting.
