NAME

  Grid_getRowData

SYNOPSIS

  Grid_getRowData(integer(IN) :: blockID,
                  integer(IN) :: gridDataStruct,
                  integer(IN) :: structIndex,
                  integer(IN) :: beginCount, 
                  integer(IN) :: row,
                  integer(IN) :: startingPos(MDIM),
                  real(OUT)   :: datablock(dataSize),
                  integer(IN) :: dataSize)

DESCRIPTION

  This routine allows the user to get an entire row or any contiguous
  part of a row of data depending on the arguments passed. The user is also
  allowed to specify if indice counting should begin at the exterior edge
  of the block, (that is including guardcells)
  or the interior edge of the block. 

  The data could be either a single variable in one of the grid data 
  structures such as cell centered/face centered/scratch, or it could
  be quantities derived from the size of the cell, such as cell volume/
  face area for all the cells in the specified portion of the block

ARGUMENTS

  blockID : the local blockid

  gridDataStruct : integer value specifying the type of data desired.
             Valid options are either one of the Grid data structures,
             or one of the derived quantities such as the cell volume
             or the cell area.

             The options are defined in constants.h and they are :
                   CENTER cell centered variables
                   FACEX  face centered variable on faces along IAXIS
                   FACEY  face centered variable on faces along JAXIS
                   FACEZ  face centered variable on faces along IAXIS
                   WORK   single, cell centered variable, valid only
                          for paramesh
                   SCRATCH scratch space that can fit cell and face centered variables
                   SCRATCH_CTR scratch space for cell centered variables
                   SCRATCH_FACEX scratch space facex variables
                   SCRATCH_FACEY scratch space facey variables
                   SCRATCH_FACEZ scratch space facez variables
                   CELL_VOLUME volumes of specified cells 
                   CELL_FACEAREA face area for the specified cells on 
                                 specified face 
                   
  structIndex : integer value that provides index into the specified data
                structure. When gridDataStruct is one of the grid data structures
                structIndex translates to a specific variable in that 
                data structure, for example: DENS_VAR or PRES_VAR (define in
                Flash.h) if gridDataStruct = CENTER.

                For gridDataStruct=CELL_VOLUME, it has no meaning

                For gridDataStruct = CELL_FACEAREA, it can take one of 
                (ILO_FACE,IHI_FACE,JLO_FACE,JHI_FACE,KLO_FACE,KHI_FACE)
                defined in constants.h
  

  beginCount : tells the routine where to start indice counting.  beginCount can
               be set to INTERIOR or EXTERIOR.  If INTERIOR is specified
               guardcell indices are not included and index 1 is the first interior cell. 
               If EXTERIOR is specified
               the first index, 1, is the left most guardcell.  See example
               below for more explanation.  (For most of the FLASH architecture code,
               we use EXTERIOR.  Some physics routines, however, find it helpful 
               only to work on the internal parts of the blocks (without
               guardcells) and wish to keep loop indicies  
               going from 1 to NXB without having to worry about finding 
               the correct offset for the number of guardcells.) 
               (INTERIOR and EXTERIOR are defined in constants.h)

  row :      specifies the integer index coordinates of the cells
             The options are IAXIS, JAXIS or KAXIS defined in constants.h

  startingPos(MDIM):
           specifies the starting position in each dimension of row
           row of data being fetched.
   
           startingPos(1) = i
           startingPos(2) = j
           startingPos(3) = k

           For a 2d problem startingPos(3) is ignored
           For a 1d problem startingPos(3) and startingPos(2) are ignored


  datablock : a real array containing the data
              The dimensions for datablock are 
              datablock(datasize) Various compilers require the dimensions of
              datablock to be specified explicitly.  They are defined by 
              the next argument "dataSize".  


  dataSize : an integer specifying the dimensions for datablock
          
          dataSize holds the number of cells in the row to return

EXAMPLE

    Here is a 3d block example for getting an entire row of data, 
    including guardcells for each block on a local processor.  
    We will get the entire row in the 
    i direction at position j=5 and k=7.  beginCount is set to EXTERIOR
    meaning that the first cell of the block including guardcells is 
    index = 1.  If in this example, NGUARD = 4 then position 5 is the
    first interior cell in a dimension.
 
    (Can't really draw 3d for this example, but this
     picture is meant to help show where 
     counting begins when "beginCount" is set to EXTERIOR)

    In this 2d block example we will get face area for x direction
    lower face of part of a row 
    for each block on a local processor.
    beginCount is set to INTERIOR, meaning that all the startPos indices
    will start where index 1 is the first interior cell of the block.
    In this example we will get just 3 cells in a row in the i direction
    beginning at position i= 4 and j position= 5

    (hard to draw, but this is the idea, stars (*) are the cells to return
     notice the where indice counting starts when beginCount is set to INTERIOR)
