Class
    Foam::planeToFaceZone
 
Description
    A \c topoSetSource to select faces based on the adjacent cell centres
    spanning a given plane. The plane is defined by a point and normal vector.
 
    Operands:
    \table
      Operand   | Type     | Location
      output 1  | faceSet  | <constant>/polyMesh/sets/<set>
      output 2  | faceZone | <constant>/polyMesh/faceZones
    \endtable
 
Usage
    Minimal example by using \c system/topoSetDict.actions:
    \verbatim
    {
        // Mandatory (inherited) entries
        name        <name>;
        type        faceZoneSet;
        action      <action>;
 
        // Mandatory entries
        source      planeToFaceZone;
        point       (<px> <py> <pz>);
        normal      (<nx> <ny> <nz>);
 
        // Optional entries
        option      <option>;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property   | Description                         | Type | Reqd  | Dflt
      name       | Name of faceZone                    | word |  yes  | -
      type       | Type name: faceZoneSet              | word |  yes  | -
      action     | Action applied on faces - see below | word |  yes  | -
      source     | Source name: planeToFaceZone        | word |  yes  | -
      point      | A point on the input plane          | vector | yes | -
      normal     | Normal vector to the input plane    | vector | yes | -
      option     | Plane selection method - see below  | word   | no  | all
    \endtable
 
    Options for the \c action entry:
    \verbatim
      new      | Create a new faceZone from selected faces of a faceZone
      add      | Add selected faces of a faceZone into this faceZone
      subtract | Remove selected faces of a faceZone from this faceZone
    \endverbatim
 
    Options for the \c option entry:
    \verbatim
      all      | Select all faces that meet the criteria
      closest  | Select faces that belong to the closest contiguous plane
    \endverbatim
 
Note
  - Additionally, an include entry can be specified. When omitted or set to
    "all", then all faces that meet the criteria are included in the set. When
    set to "closest", just the faces that belong to the closest contiguous
    region to the plane point are included. This latter setting is useful when
    defining face zones through channels on which the flow rate is to be
    computed, as it keeps the set local to a single channel.
