Description
    Namespace for surface writers
 
Class
    Foam::surfaceWriter
 
Description
    Base class for surface writers.
 
    The surfaceWriter interface is rather large since we need a writer that
    can either be initially defined without a surface association
    and have that added at a later stage, or be defined with a surface
    association.
 
    \verbatim
    formatOptions
    {
        someFormat // Eg, ensight, vtk, etc
        {
            verbose         true;
        }
    }
    \endverbatim
 
  Format options:
    \table
        Property | Description                             | Required | Default
        verbose  | Additional output verbosity             | no  | no
    \endtable
 
Note
    For surface formats that require geometry in a separate file,
    it is the responsibility of the implementation (not the caller)
    to ensure that this occurs.
