Class
    Foam::areaWrite

Description
    Write finite area mesh/fields to standard output formats.

    Example of function object specification:

    \verbatim
    surfaces
    {
        type    areaWrite;
        libs    (utilityFunctionObjects);

        // Write at same frequency as fields
        writeControl    writeTime;
        writeInterval   1;

        // Fields to be sampled
        fields          (p U);

        // Output surface format
        surfaceFormat   vtk;

        formatOptions
        {
            vtk
            {
                precision  10;
            }
        }
    }
    \endverbatim
