Description
Hi, I have this method for extracting plane cuts and isosurfaces from general tetmeshes:
The output can also creates a GeometryBasics.Mesh which can be used with Makie:
There is also "marching_triangles" for isoline calculation.
In the moment, these are not exported, but they are used by other packages (PlutoVista.jl) or projects (@jlchan). Logically, they should reside outside of GridVisualize.jl, and I have the impression that Meshing.jl could be the right place (though I find the package name a bit misleading...). So before creating another package I would like to discuss to move these into Meshing.jl and export them.
A couple of points:
- I would like to keep the current mostly array based API and internal coding, a wrapper taking GeometryBasics.Mesh appears to be not too hard to create. The main reason for this is that I consider the current state of GeometryBasics.jl / Meshes.jl etc not settled.
- I think I already have commit access as a member of JuliaGeometry (maintaining Triangulate.jl a and co-maintaining TetGen.jl) and I would care about maintaining the corresponding part of the code.
How do you look at this ?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked implementations in GridVisualize.jl: src/common.jl around line 413 and src/makie.jl around line 873, including marching_triangles. Then determine whether these array-based algorithms and their GeometryBasics.Mesh output belong in Meshing.jl; the work is complete only after the package location, API, maintenance ownership, and exports are agreed.
