> I think I'd prefer a simpler structure here where buildGrid always builds the shear and kappa grids. It's really not that much extra computation. Basically one more fft. The fft scales as Nln(N) where N is the number of total grid points (nx * ny). Typically N is equal to (or similar to) the number of galaxies we're going to draw on the image, and we have a bunch of other things that scale with this N with much larger prefactors.

Sure.  I'll make this buildGrid (and have it do both by default).  Then there will be separate methods for getting shear and magnification.
