Curvilinear grid demo
=====================

Custom grid and ticklines.

This example demonstrates how to use
`~.grid_helper_curvelinear.GridHelperCurveLinear` to define custom grids and
ticklines by applying a transformation on the grid.  This can be used, as
shown on the second plot, to create polar projections in a rectangular box.
