Abstract
A method is presented to discretize almost arbitrary curves and areas on nonrectangular grids. This method can be applied in focused ion and electron beam systems. Distortion of the physical writing grid can be taken into account at the discretization, thus eliminating the need f or a correction step afterwards.
