Multi-Contour File Data Format

• Here is the proposal for a new Curves-As-Trees (CAT) Object File Format. Below is the CURRENTLY USED Multi-Contour File Format.
  
  
• LONI_Viz reads and writes contour files of the following ASCII type/synthax (Multi Contour File format, file extensions MCF or mcf). Example of a MCF file: example.mcf
  
  
• Convertors between MCF <--> UCF (universal contour file, a single contour file format) exist are are involked as follows:
  
  • MergeMCOfiles_drive [[file.mcf/ucf]] combined_file.mcf
  • MCF_to_UCF_drive plane_z_level contour_index file_input.mcf file_output.ucf
