  cntr.c
  General purpose contour tracer for quadrilateral meshes.
  Handles single level contours, or region between a pair of levels.

    The routines that do all the work, as well as the explanatory
    comments, came from gcntr.c, part of the GIST package. The
    original mpl interface was also based on GIST.  The present
    interface uses parts of the original, but places them in
    the entirely different framework of a Python type.  It
    was written by following the Python "Extending and Embedding"
    tutorial.

/* What is a contour?
 *
 * Given a quadrilateral mesh (x,y), and values of a z at the points
 * of that mesh, we seek a set of polylines connecting points at a
 * particular value of z.  Each point on such a contour curve lies
 * on an edge of the mesh, at a point linearly interpolated to the
 * contour level z0 between the given values of z at the endpoints
 * of the edge.
 *
 * Identifying these points is easy.  Figuring out how to connect them
 * into a curve -- or possibly a set of disjoint curves -- is difficult.
 * Each disjoint curve may be either a closed circuit, or it may begin
 * and end on a mesh boundary.
 *
 * One of the problems with a quadrilateral mesh is that when the z
 * values at one pair of diagonally opposite points lie below z0, and
 * the values at the other diagonal pair of the same zone lie above z0,
 * all four edges of the zone are cut, and there is an ambiguity in
 * how we should connect the points.  I call this a saddle zone.
 * The problem is that two disjoint curves cut through a saddle zone
 * (I reject the alternative of connecting the opposite points to make
 * a single self-intersecting curve, since those make ugly contour plots
 * -- I've tried it).  The solution is to determine the z value of the
 * centre of the zone, which is the mean of the z values of the four
 * corner points.  If the centre z is higher than the contour level of
 * interest and you are moving along the line with higher values on the
 * left, turn right to leave the saddle zone.  If the centre z is lower
 * than the contour level turn left.  Whether the centre z is higher
 * than the 1 or 2 contour levels is stored in the saddle array so that
 * it does not need to be recalculated in subsequent passes.
 *
 * Another complicating factor is that there may be logical holes in
 * the mesh -- zones which do not exist.  We want our contours to stop
 * if they hit the edge of such a zone, just as if they'd hit the edge
 * of the whole mesh.  The input region array addresses this issue.
 *
 * Yet another complication: We may want a list of closed polygons which
 * outline the region between two contour levels z0 and z1.  These may
 * include sections of the mesh boundary (including edges of logical
 * holes defined by the region array), in addition to sections of the
 * contour curves at one or both levels.  This introduces a huge
 * topological problem -- if one of the closed contours (possibly
 * including an interior logical hole in the mesh, but not any part of
 * the boundary of the whole mesh) encloses a region which is not
 * between z0 and z1, that curve must be connected by a slit (or "branch
 * cut") to the enclosing curve, so that the list of disjoint polygons
 * we return is each simply connected.
 *
 * Okay, one final stunning difficulty: For the two level case, no
 * individual polygon should have more than a few thousand sides, since
 * huge filled polygons place an inordinate load on rendering software,
 * which needs an amount of scratch space proportional to the number
 * of sides it needs to fill.  So in the two level case, we want to
 * chunk the mesh into rectangular pieces of no more than, say, 30x30
 * zones, which keeps each returned polygon to less than a few thousand
 * sides (the worst case is very very bad -- you can easily write down
 * a function and two level values which produce a polygon that cuts
 * every edge of the mesh twice).
 */

/*
 * Here is the numbering scheme for points, edges, and zones in
 * the mesh -- note that each ij corresponds to one point, one zone,
 * one i-edge (i=constant edge) and one j-edge (j=constant edge):
 *
 *             (ij-1)-------(ij)-------(ij)
 *                |                     |
 *                |                     |
 *                |                     |
 *             (ij-1)       (ij)       (ij)
 *                |                     |
 *                |                     |
 *                |                     |
 *           (ij-iX-1)----(ij-iX)----(ij-iX)
 *
 * At each point, the function value is either 0, 1, or 2, depending
 * on whether it is below z0, between z0 and z1, or above z1.
 * Each zone either exists (1) or not (0).
 * From these three bits of data, all of the curve connectivity follows.
 *
 * The tracing algorithm is naturally edge-based: Either you are at a
 * point where a level cuts an edge, ready to step across a zone to
 * another edge, or you are drawing the edge itself, if it happens to
 * be a boundary with at least one section between z0 and z1.
 *
 * In either case, the edge is a directed edge -- either the zone
 * you are advancing into is to its left or right, or you are actually
 * drawing it.  I always trace curves keeping the region between z0 and
 * z1 to the left of the curve.  If I'm tracing a boundary, I'm always
 * moving CCW (counter clockwise) around the zone that exists.  And if
 * I'm about to cross a zone, I'll make the direction of the edge I'm
 * sitting on be such that the zone I'm crossing is to its left.
 *
 * I start tracing each curve near its lower left corner (mesh oriented
 * as above), which is the first point I encounter scanning through the
 * mesh in order.  When I figure the 012 z values and zonal existence,
 * I also mark the potential starting points: Each edge may harbor a
 * potential starting point corresponding to either direction, so there
 * are four start possibilities at each ij point.  Only the following
 * possibilities need to be marked as potential starting edges:
 *
 *     +-+-+-+
 *     | | | |
 *     A-0-C-+    One or both levels cut E and have z=1 above them, and
 *     | EZ| |    0A is cut and either 0C is cut or CD is cut.
 *     +-B-D-+    Or, one or both levels cut E and E is a boundary edge.
 *     | | | |    (and Z exists)
 *     +-+-+-+
 *
 *     +-+-+-+
 *     | | | |
 *     +-A-0-C    One or both levels cut E and have z=1 below them, and
 *     | |ZE |    0A is cut and either 0C is cut or CD is cut.
 *     +-+-B-D    Or, one or both levels cut E and E is a boundary edge.
 *     | | | |    (and Z exists)
 *     +-+-+-+
 *
 *     +-+-+-+
 *     | | | |
 *     +-+-+-+    E is a boundary edge, Z exists, at some point on E
 *     | |Z| |    lies between the levels.
 *     +-+E+-+
 *     | | | |
 *     +-+-+-+
 *
 *     +-+-+-+
 *     | | | |
 *     +-+E+-+    E is a boundary edge, Z exists, at some point on E
 *     | |Z| |    lies between the levels.
 *     +-+-+-+
 *     | | | |
 *     +-+-+-+
 *
 * During the first tracing pass, the start mark is erased whenever
 * any non-starting edge is encountered, reducing the number of points
 * that need to be considered for the second pass.  The first pass
 * makes the basic connectivity decisions.  It figures out how many
 * disjoint curves there will be, and identifies slits for the two level
 * case or open contours for the single level case, and removes all but
 * the actual start markers.  A second tracing pass can perform the
 * actual final trace.
