+# Comment on dual porosity grids:
+#
+# Simulation grids may hold a "dual poro" or/and a "dual perm" system. This is
+# supported here for EGRID format (only, so far), which:
+# * Index 5 in FILEHEAD will be 1 if dual poro is True
+# * Index 5 in FILEHEAD will be 2 if dual poro AND dual perm is True
+# * ACTNUM values will be: 0, 1, 2 (inactive) or 3 (active) instead of normal
+#   0 / 1 in the file:
+# * 0 both Fracture and Matrix are inactive
+# * 1 Matrix is active, Fracture is inactive (set to zero)
+# * 2 Matrix is inactive (set to zero), Fracture is active
+# * 3 Both Fracture and Matrix are active
+#
+#   However, XTGeo will convert this 0..3 scheme back to 0..1 scheme for ACTNUM!
+#   In case of dualporo/perm, a special property holding the initial actnum
+#   will be made, which is self._dualactnum
+#
+# The property self._dualporo is True in case of Dual Porosity
+# BOTH self._dualperm AND self._dualporo are True in case of Dual Permeability
+#
+# All properties in a dual p* system will be given a postfix "M" of "F", e.g.
+# PORO -->  POROM and POROF

+
+    I.e. the geometric grid cells and the active cell indicator.
+
+    The grid geometry class instances are normally created when
+    importing a grid from file, as it is normally too complex to create from
+    scratch.
+
+    Args:
+        coordsv: numpy array of dtype float64 and dimensions (nx + 1, ny + 1, 6)
+            Giving the x,y,z values of the upper and lower corners in the grid.
+        zcornsv: numpy array of dtype float32 and dimensions (nx + 1, ny + 1, nz + 1, 4)
+            giving the sw, se, nw, ne corners along the i,jth corner line for
+            the kth layer.
+        actnumsv: numpy array of dtype int32 and dimensions (nx, ny, nz) giving
+            the activity number for each cell. 0 means inactive, 1 means
+            active. For dualporo=True/dualperm=True grids, value can also be 2
+            or 3 meaning rock volume only and pore volume only respectively.
+        dualporo (bool): True if dual porosity grid.
+        dualperm (bool): True if dual permeability grid.
+        subgrids: dictionary giving names to subset of layers. Has name as key and
+            list of layer indices as values. Defaults to no names given.
+        units: The length units the coordinates are in,
+            (either Units.CM, Units.METRES, Units.FEET for cm, metres and
+            feet respectively).  Default (None) is unitless.
+        filesrc: Optional filename of grid.
+        props: GridProperties instance containing the properties of the grid, defaults
+            to empty instance.
+        name: Optional name of the grid.
+        roxgrid: Roxar Grid the Grid originates from if any, defaults to no such grid.
+        roxindexer: Roxar grid indexer for the roxgrid. Defaults to no such indexer.
+
+    See Also:
+        The :class:`.GridProperty` and the :class:`.GridProperties` classes.

+                of points in the polygons, where tolerance is 0.1. Another
+                alternative to True is to input a Dict on the form
