Description
It seems to me that currently the vertcross function's return value includes one x point for every WRF grid cell crossed by the line.
For some applications (i.e., integrate concentrations along the x axis) it would be very useful if one could not only specify levels to prescribe the points in z direction, but also specify the number of sampling points along the cross-section which vertcross result should contain.
Would you be interested in including this functionality in wrf-python, or should I rather do this as a post-processing step on my own?

Research direction
Start by locating the vertcross implementation and its tests, then read how the existing levels argument determines sampling points. Define how an optional x-point count should interact with the cross-section output, and consider the issue complete when the requested count is supported and covered by tests.
