NAME:      line 1D  - draw a line in 2-space or 3-space

AUTHOR:    Kathleen M. Dyer, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

TYPE:      mapper

INPUTS:    field 1D 2-space or 3-space irregular

OUTPUTS:   geom

DESCRIPTION
    This module reads in a "field 1D 2-space or 3-space irregular" and produces
    a "line".  The line is a GEOM object composed of disjoint lines, 
    the vertices of which are determined from the grid points of the field.
     
    This module was written so that the location of an orthogonal slice of a 
    2D field could be shown via "render geometry".


INPUT
    Data Field (required; field 1D 2-space or 3-space irregular)
      The input data may have any data type at each field point.


OUTPUT
    Geometry (geom)
      The output is a geometry object consisting of disjoint lines showing the
      location of a 1D field.


EXAMPLE
      The following network shows a typical usage of line 1D:
