Class
    Foam::functionObjects::patchCutLayerAverage
 
Description
    This function object writes graphs of patch face values, area-averaged in
    planes perpendicular to a given direction. It adaptively grades the
    distribution of graph points to match the resolution of the mesh.
 
    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    patchCutLayerAverage1
    {
        type            patchCutLayerAverage;
        libs            ("libpatchCutLayerAverageFunctionObject.so");
 
        writeControl    writeTime;
        writeInterval   1;
 
        patch           lowerWall;
        direction       (1 0 0);
        nPoints         100;
        interpolate     no;
 
        fields          (p U);
 
        axis            x;
        setFormat       raw;
    }
    \endverbatim
