Maps: Parametric Block in a Layer
===================================

Parametric description of a block confined to a layer in a
wholespace. The mapping can be applied in 2D or 3D. Here we show a 2D
example.

The model is given by

.. code::

    m = np.r_[
       'value of the background',
       'value in the layer',
       'value in the block',
       'center of the layer (depth)',
       'thickness of the layer',
       'x-center of block',
       'width of the block'
    ]
