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

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'
]
