+The Blender.Lattice submodule.

+Lattice Object
+==============
+
+This module provides access to B{Lattice} object in Blender.
+
+Example::
+  import Blender
+  from Blender import Lattice
+  from Blender.Lattice import *
+  from Blender import Object
+  from Blender import Scene
+
+  myOb = Object.New('Lattice')
+  myLat = Lattice.New()
+  myLat.setPartitions(5,5,5)
+  myLat.setKeyTypes(LINEAR, CARDINAL, BSPLINE)
+  myLat.setMode(OUTSIDE)
+
+  for y in range(125):
+    vec = myLat.getPoint(y)
+    co1 = vec[0] + vec[0] / 5
+    co2 = vec[1] - vec[2] * 0.3
+    co3 = vec[2] * 3
+    myLat.setPoint(y,[co1,co2,co3])
+
+  myOb.link(myLat)
+  mySphere = Object.Get('Sphere')
+  myOb.makeParent([mySphere])
+
+  myLat.applyDeform()
+
+  sc = Scene.getCurrent()
+  sc.link(myOb)
+  Blender.Redraw()
