AuxiliaryCoordinate.contiguous(overlap=True)[source]

Return True if a coordinate is contiguous.

A coordinate is contiguous if its cell boundaries match up, or overlap, with the boundaries of adjacent cells.

In general, it is only possible for 1 or 0 dimensional coordinates with bounds to be contiguous, but size 1 coordinates with any number of dimensions are always contiguous.

An exception occurs if the coordinate is multdimensional and has more than one element.

Parameters:
overlap: bool, optional

If False then overlapping cell boundaries are not considered contiguous. By default cell boundaries are considered contiguous.
Returns:
out: bool

Whether or not the coordinate is contiguous.
Raises:
ValueError :

If the coordinate has more than one dimension.
Examples: 
>>> c.hasbounds
False
>>> c.contiguous()
False

>>> print c.bounds[:, 0]
[  0.5   1.5   2.5   3.5 ]
>>> print c.bounds[:, 1]
[  1.5   2.5   3.5   4.5 ]
>>> c.contiuous()
True

>>> print c.bounds[:, 0]
[  0.5   1.5   2.5   3.5 ]
>>> print c.bounds[:, 1]
[  2.5   3.5   4.5   5.5 ]
>>> c.contiuous()
True
>>> c.contiuous(overlap=False)
False
