+ * The @p{write_tecplot} function and the @p{write} function through the @p{tecplot}
+ * parameter write the data in the Tecplot (http://www.amtec.com) FEBLOCK format. The
+ * program supports 1, 2, and 3D data and has features such as contouring, slicing,
+ * drawing streamlines, and animation. Patches are written as a collection of
+ * quadrilaterals in 2D or bricks in 3D, with the nodal values interpolated to
+ * (bi-,tri-) linear elements.
