%'proj_field': projects the field on a projection object
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
%  function [ProjData,errormsg]=proj_field(FieldData,ObjectData)
%
% OUTPUT:
% ProjData structure containing the fields of the input field FieldData,
% transmitted or projected on the object, plus the additional fields
%    .UMax, .UMin, .VMax, .VMin: min and max of velocity components in a domain
%    .UMean,VMean: mean of the velocity components in a domain
%    .AMin, AMax: min and max of a scalar
%    .AMean: mean of a scalar in a domain  
%  .NbPix;
%  .DimName=  names of the matrix dimensions (matlab cell)
%  .VarName= names of the variables [ProjData.VarName {'A','AMean','AMin','AMax'}];
%  .VarDimNameIndex= dimensions of the variables, indicated by indices in the list .DimName;
%
%INPUT
% ObjectData: structure characterizing the projection object
%    .Type : type of projection object
%    .ProjMode=mode of projection ;
%    .CoordUnit: 'px', 'cm' units for the coordinates defining the object
%    .Angle (  angles of rotation (=[0 0 0] by default)
%    .ProjAngle=angle of projection;
%    .DX,.DY,.DZ=increments along each coordinate
%    .Coord(nbpoints,3): set of coordinates defining the object position;

%FieldData: data of the field to be projected on the projection object, with optional fields
%    .Txt: error message, transmitted to the projection
%    .FieldList: cell array of strings representing the fields to calculate
%    .Mesh: typical distance between data points (used for mouse action or display), transmitted
%    .CoordUnit, .TimeUnit, .dt: transmitted
% standardised description of fields, nc-formated Matlab structure with fields:
%         .ListGlobalAttribute: cell listing the names of the global attributes
%        .Att_1,Att_2... : values of the global attributes
%            .ListVarName: cell listing the names of the variables
%           .VarAttribute: cell of structures s containing names and values of variable attributes (s.name=value) for each variable of .ListVarName
%        .Var1, .Var2....: variables (Matlab arrays) with names listed in .ListVarName
% The variables are grouped in 'fields', made of a set of variables with common dimensions (using the function find_field_indices)
% The variable attribute 'Role' is used to define the role for plotting:
%       Role = 'scalar':  (default) represents a scalar field
%            = 'coord':  represents a set of unstructured coordinates, whose
%                     space dimension is given by the last array dimension (called 'NbDim').
%            = 'coord_x', 'coord_y',  'coord_z': represents a separate set of
%                        unstructured coordinate x, y  or z
%            = 'vector': represents a vector field whose number of components
%                is given by the last dimension (called 'NbDim')
%            = 'vector_x', 'vector_y', 'vector_z'  :represents the x, y or z  component of a vector  
%            = 'warnflag' : provides a warning flag about the quality of data in a 'Field', default=0, no warning
%            = 'errorflag': provides an error flag marking false data,
%                   default=0, no error. Different non zero values can represent different criteria of elimination.
%
% Default role of variables (by name)
%  vector field:
%    .X,.Y: position of the velocity vectors, projected on the object
%    .U, .V, .W: velocity components, projected on the object
%    .C, .CName: scalar associated to the vector
%    .F : equivalent to 'warnflag'
%    .FF: equivalent to 'errorflag'
%  scalar field or image:
%    .AName: name of a scalar (to be calculated from velocity fields after projection), transmitted 
%    .A: scalar, projected on the object
%    .AX, .AY: positions for the scalar
%     case of a structured grid: A is a dim 2 matrix and .AX=[first last] (length 2 vector) represents the first and last abscissa of the grid
%     case of an unstructured scalar: A is a vector, AX and AY the corresponding coordinates
