r"""
Create spherical grid files in tension of data.
Reads a spherical harmonics coefficient table with records of L, M,
C[L,M], S[L,M] and evaluates the spherical harmonic model on the
specified grid.

{aliases}
Parameters
----------
data : str or {table-like}
Pass in data with L, M, C[L,M], S[L,M] values by
providing a file name to an ASCII data table, a 2D
{table-classes}.
outgrid : str or None
The name of the output netCDF file with extension .nc to store the grid
in.

{V}
{b}
{h}
{i}
{r}
{x}
Returns
-------
ret: xarray.DataArray or None
Return type depends on whether the ``outgrid`` parameter is set:
- :class:`xarray.DataArray` if ``outgrid`` is not set
- None if ``outgrid`` is set (grid output will be stored in file set by
``outgrid``)
