% Checks whether the line specified by a three-character-string '#1'

%
% #1 : a three-character string uniquely identifing an axis line.
%      Each of the three characters can be 'v', '0' or '1'.
%      The value '0' denotes the lower axis range while '1' denotes
%      the upper axis range. The character 'v' stands for 'varying'
%      and indicates the direction in which the line varies. The first
%      character contains the values for the 'x' axis, the second
%      character for the 'y' axis and the third character for the 'z'
%      axis.
%      Example:
%      	'v01' is the axis line with 'y=lower y limit' and 'z=upper z limit'
%      	'10v' is the axis line with 'x=upper x limit' and 'y=lower y limit'
%      The 'v' character indicates the varying component. There may be
%      only one 'v'.
% #2 : a macro name. It will be empty if the line is NOT on the
% 		current surface. If will be non-empty if it IS on the current
% 		surface.
% 		To be more precise, If the line IS on the current surface, '#2' will be set to
% 		the character in '#1' which belongs to the second oriented
% 		surface axis (which is called the 'b' axis).
% 		Thus, the following values for '#2' can be expected:
% 		- '' (empty) if the line is not on the surface,
% 		- 'v' if the line IS on the surface, and '#1' contains a 'v' 
% 		in direction of the surface's 'b' axis.
% 		- '0' if the line IS on the surface and '#1' contains a '0' in
% 		direction of the surface's 'b' axis,
% 		- '1' if the line IS on the surface and '#1' contains a '1' in
% 		direction of the surface's 'b' axis.
% 		No other values are possible.
%
% 		Example:
% 		\pgfplotspointonorientedsurfaceabsetupforsetz{\zmax}{1}
% 		\pgfplotspointonorientedsurfaceabsetupfor yxz
% 		\pgfplotspointonorientedsurfaceabmatchaxisline{v01}{\result}

% COORDINATE MATH.
%
% ==================================================================================

% Declares a new "subclass" to perform coordinate math.
%
% Coordinate math usually needs a more powerful number format than the pgf
% basic layer, or at least a powerful mapping into the pgf basic
% layer. Both cases are realized by the coordinate math class.
%
% Different coordinates can use different instances, and it is also
% possible to use yet a further instance for point meta (or whatever).
%
% Coordinate math is used to compute axis limits and to map the range
% into the pgf number format. 
%
% It is *not* necessarily used for \pgfmathparse, since switching
% the number format of \pgfmathparse is quite involved (at the time of
% this writing). Instead, it is used for *single* operations (like
% max, min, multiply, add).
%
% #1: the name of the coord math class
% #2: methods to override the default.
%
% The available methods are documented and shown below in the
% \pgfqkeys listing. 
%
% @see the predefined examples, also shown below.

% Scanline management. The idea is to handle complete sequences of
% input coordinates, which are usually separated by a blank line.
%
% This allows a simple syntax to provide matrix input - by means of scanlines.
% Furthermore, 2d plots can use it to interrupt the display.
%
% An empty line in 'addplot coordinates {}' indicates the end of a
% scan line. Similarly, an empty line in 'addplot file' or 'table'
% also indicates the end of a scan line.
%
% The steps taken whenever a scan line is complete depend on the
% configuration of the /pgfplots/empty line choice key (queried in
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthinitzero).
%
%
% The following methods constitute the scanline interface.
%
% Usage:
%
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthinitzero
%
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease
% <process point>
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease
% <process point>
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease
% <process point>
% \pgfplotsscanlinecomplete
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease
% <process point>
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease
% <process point>
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease
% <process point>
% \pgfplotsscanlinecomplete
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease
% <process point>
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease
% <process point>
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease
% <process point>
% \pgfplotsscanlinecomplete
%
% \pgfplotsscanlinelengthcleanup
%
% In other words, the \pgfplotsscanlinelengthincrease routine is
% invoked *before* the point is processed. That's important.
%
% Now, \pgfplotsscanlinelength expands to either 
% a) a negative number in which case there is no 
%  unique scanline length.
%  	More precisely, -1 means "there was no end-of-scanline marker"
%  	-2 means "there where end-of-scanline markers, but the scanlines
%  	had different lengths.
% b) the scanline length.

%
% - column indices,

%   	for example '/pgfplots/table/x expr={\columnx * \columny + \thisrow{columnxxx}/2}'
%   During expr, the following (non-exhaustive) list of macros is

%   	- \columnx, \columny, \columnz, \columnmeta, \columnerrorx,
%   	\columnerrory, \columnerrorz
%   	Provide access to the cell content which would be used without
%   	'expr'.
%   	The first three access the input coordinate columns, \meta the meta column 
%   	(if any) and the last three the error data (if any). 
%
%		That means it is allowed to provide both, 'x' and 'x expr': 
%		'x expr' can use the (old) value stored in 'x'. the final x
%		coordinate will be that returned of 'x expr'.
%
%   	- \coordindex

%   		this is a fragile command! Don't use it directly inside of
%   		a math expression, prefer \thisrow.
%
%   The FPU will be used to evaluate any expressions.
%
% @REMARKS the implementation for '* expr' differs for the '<\macro>'
% and '<filename>' input types:
% - for '{<filename>}', only the current row is available.
% - for '{<\macro>}', the `create on use' framework of the table
