fix points \- \c
.SH SUMMARY
"orthoslice" and "field to mesh" communicate through a secret code
stored in the "points" array of the field structure. This will be an
array of 6 floating point numbers representing [minx, maxx, miny,
maxy, minz, maxz] for the 2D (3-space) field which orthoslice
produces. FIELD TO MESH looks at these searching for when the min ==
max to determine which direction (I, J, or K) the slice was taken
from. This is the means that FIELD TO MESH uses to orient and position
the slices properly in the volume.    

The way to defeat this is to impose your own point information on the
existing ones. For instance, you have a 64x64x64 volume and you're
taking the 12th K slice. The points array will look like: [0, 63, 0,
63, 12, 12]. If you overwrite the Z mins/maxes with 0.0's, the slice
will appear positioned on the XY plane (not 12 units above it).
Similarly, the 23rd I slice points array looks like: [23, 23, 0, 63,
0, 63] and will produce a slice parallel to the YZ plane at X=23. By
overwriting the 23's with 0's, you will get it to lie right on the YZ
plane.

"fix points" should put between the orthoslice and the
field_to_mesh modules in your network.
