%% GRID_READ reads the finite element grid information.
%
%  Problem specification:
%
%    The user defines the geometry by supplying data files
%    which list the node coordinates, and the nodes that make up
%    each element, and the neighbors of each element.

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, string PREFIX, the filename prefix.
%
%    Output, integer NODE_NUM, the number of nodes.
%
%    Output, integer ELEMENT_NUM, the number of elements.
%
%    Output, real NODE_XY(2,NODE_NUM), the point coordinates.
%
%    Output, integer ELEMENT_NODE(3,ELEMENT_NUM), the nodes that make 
%    up the elements.
%
%    Output, integer ELEMENT_NEIGHBOR(3,ELEMENT_NUM), the element neighbors on 
%    each side.  If there is no element neighbor on a particular side, the 
%    value of should be negative.
