 select_seeds(x, y, z; nsegment=(5, 5, 5))

Generate uniform seeding points in the grid range x, y and z in nsegment.

 select_seeds(x, y; nsegment=(5, 5))

Generate uniform seeding points in the grid range x and y in nsegment. If nsegment specified, use the keyword input, otherwise it will be overloaded by the 3D version seed generation function!

DoBreak(iloc, jloc, iSize, jSize)

Check to see if we should break out of an integration.

bilin_reg(x, y, Q00, Q01, Q10, Q11)

Bilinear interpolation for x1,y1=(0,0) and x2,y2=(1,1) Q's are surrounding points such that Q00 = F[0,0], Q10 = F[1,0], etc.

euler(maxstep, ds, startx, starty, xGrid, yGrid, ux, uy)

Fast 2D tracing using Euler's method. It takes at most maxstep with step size ds tracing the vector field given by ux,uy starting from (startx,starty) in the Cartesian grid specified by ranges xGrid and yGrid. Step size is in normalized coordinates within the range [0, 1]. Return footprints' coordinates in (x, y).

Fast 3D tracing using Euler's method. It takes at most maxstep with step size ds tracing the vector field given by ux,uy,uz starting from (startx,starty,startz) in the Cartesian grid specified by ranges xGrid, yGrid and zGrid. Return footprints' coordinates in (x,y,z).

Return cell ID on the unstructured mesh.

Return the cellIDth element of the mesh.

grid_interp(x, y, field, ix, iy)

Interpolate a value at (x,y) in a field. ix and iy are indexes for x,y locations (0-based).

grid_interp(x, y, z, field, ix, iy, iz, xsize, ysize)

Interpolate a value at (x,y,z) in a field. ix,iy and iz are indexes for x, y and z locations (0-based). xsize and ysize are the sizes of field in X and Y.

 trace2d_euler(fieldx, fieldy, startx, starty, gridx, gridy;
	 maxstep=20000, ds=0.01, gridtype="ndgrid", direction="both")

Given a 2D vector field, trace a streamline from a given point to the edge of the vector field. The field is integrated using Euler's method, which is faster but less accurate than RK4. Only valid for regular grid with coordinates' range gridx and gridy. Step size is in normalized coordinates within the range [0,1]. The field can be in both meshgrid or ndgrid (default) format. Supporting direction of {"both","forward","backward"}.

trace2d_euler(fieldx, fieldy, startx, starty, grid::CartesianGrid; kwargs...)

 trace2d_rk4(fieldx, fieldy, startx, starty, gridx, gridy;
	 maxstep=20000, ds=0.01, gridtype="ndgrid", direction="both")

Given a 2D vector field, trace a streamline from a given point to the edge of the vector field. The field is integrated using Runge Kutta 4. Slower than Euler, but more accurate. The higher accuracy allows for larger step sizes ds. Step size is in normalized coordinates within the range [0,1]. See also trace2d_euler.
