            c= hex24f_track(mesh, rays, s)

            c= hex24b_track(mesh, rays, s)

     track 3 x Nrays x 2 RAYS through the 3D MESH.  RAYS(,,1) are

     points on the rays, while RAYS(,,2) are normalized ray directions.

     The c return value and the S parameter are a long and double

     array respectively, with number of elements equal to the total
     number of intersections of all the RAYS with faces of the MESH,
     plus one for any RAY which misses MESH entirely.  The values of
     c are:
       [#hits,cell1,cell2,cell3,..., #hits,cell1,cell2,cell3,..., ...]

     where each #hits is followed by the list of cell indices (assuming
     i=1, j=1, and k=1 are present but meaningless in cell arrays --
     that is, assuming zone centered arrays have the same dimensions
     as XYZ rather than one less in each direction).  Rays which miss
     the mesh entirely have #hits=1, all others have #hits>=2 since they

     must exit.  #hits<0 means a ray reentered the mesh for abs(#hits)
     more face crossings, but this currently cannot happen.  The values
     of S correspond to c:
       [s0,s1,s2,s3,..., s0,s1,s2,s3,..., ...]
     which are the distances along the ray measured from RAYS(,,1) in

     the direction of RAYS(,,2) where the ray pierces a cell face.  For

     rays which miss the mesh, the value of s0 is a diagnostic telling
     why they missed (see compiled code).


     Function hex5_track uses the 5-tet decomposition for hexes,
     which is not unique when the quad faces are non-planar.  You may

     be able to get an idea of this effect by setting hex_triang the
     opposite way and redoing the trace.


     Functions hex24f_track and hex24b_track use the face and body
     centered 24-tet decompositions for hexes.  These are unique;

     however, hex_triang may in rare cases change the trace slightly,
     since the entry search algorithm still involves triangulating
     the surface quads.

func track_reduce (&c, &s, rays, slimits, flip=)

/* DOCUMENT nlist= track_reduce(c, s)

     compresses the C and S returns from the tracking routines (see

     hex5_track) to the following form:
       [cell1,cell2,cell3,..., cell1,cell2,cell3,..., ...]
       [s1-s0,s2-s1,s3-s2,..., s1-s0,s2-s1,s3-s2,..., ...]
     returning nlist as
       [#hits, #hits, ...]

     In this form, any negative #hits are combined with the preceding
     positive values, and #hits=1 (indicating a miss) appear as #hits=0
     in nlist.  Hence, nlist always has exactly Nrays elements.

     If RAYS is supplied, it is used to force the dimensions of the
     returned nlist to match the dimensions of RAYS (the value of RAYS
     is never used).  The RAYS argument need not have the trailing 2

     dimension, so if you specified RAYS as [P,Q] if the call to

     hex5_track, you can use just P or Q as the RAYS argument to
     track_reduce.

     If SLIMITS is supplied, it should be [smin,smax] or [smin,smax]-

     by-dimsof(nlist) in order to reject input S values outside the
     specified limits.  The C list will be culled appropriately, and
     the first and last returned ds values adjusted.

     With a non-zero flip= keyword, the order of the elements of
     C and S within each group of #hits is reversed, so that a

     subsequent track_solve will track the ray backwards.  If you
     use this, both the ray direction input to the tracking routine
     and any SLIMITS argument here should refer to the reverse of
     the ray you intend to track.

func track_solve (nlist, c, s, akap, ekap, last)

/* DOCUMENT result= track_solve(nlist, c, s, akap, ekap, last)

     integrates a transport equation for NLIST, C, and S returned

     by track_reduce (and optionally c_adjust).  The RAYS argument
     is used only to set the dimensions of the result.  AKAP and
     EKAP are mesh-sized arrays of opacity and emissivity, respectively.
     They may have an additional group dimension, as well.  The

     units of AKAP are 1/length (where length is the unit of S),

     while EKAP is (spectral) power per unit area (length^2), where
     the power is what ever units you want the result in.  The

     emission per unit volume of material is EKAP*AKAP; an optically

     thick block of material emits EKAP per unit surface.

     The NLIST is a list of n values, so that many transport integrals

     can be performed simultaneously; sum(NLIST) = numberof(AKAP) =

     numberof(EKAP).  The result is 2-by-dimsof(NLIST), where the
     first element of the first index is the transmission fraction

     through the entire ray path, and the second element of the
     result is the self-emission along the ray, which has the same
     units as EKAP.


     If EKAP is nil, result is dimsof(NLIST) -- exactly the same as
     the transparency (1st element of result) when both EKAP and AKAP
     are specified.


     If AKAP is nil, result is dimsof(NLIST).  In this case, EKAP

     must have units of emission per unit volume instead of per unit

     area; the result will be the sum of EKAP*S along each ray.

     AKAP and EKAP may by 2D to do multigroup integrations
     simultaneously.  By default, the group dimension is first, but
     if LAST is non-nil and non-zero, the group dimension is last.

       (Hex numbers it (2,2,2).)
     FACE is the face number on cell (I0,J0,K0) which you want a
       ray to enter.  0 means the -I face, 1 the +I face, 2 the -J
       face, 3 the +J face, 4 the -K face, and 5 the +K face.
       As you step from this cell to its neighbors, then to their
       neighbors, and so on, this face must trace out a convex
       surface for the ray entry search.  Rays not intersecting
       this surface will not enter the problem; the ray trace
       will begin at this surface, not at -infinity.

     If FACE==-1 or is omitted (as in the third form), then the

     given points on the rays are assumed to lie inside the mesh,
     and a pseudo ray from the centroid of cell (I0, J0, K0) will be
     tracked to the given point on each ray; the ray will be launched
     into the cell containing that point.
