Creation of a profile when using "zint" function of the plane_layer_volume tool

[vbouillaut]

Hi,

The function zint() of the plane_layer_volume package creates a profile + a verticalSums even when applied on a profile instead of only a verticalSums.

@vbouillaut ,
That is correct: applying the zint method of the plane_layer_volume class of ${CORAL}/etc/python_scripts/process_data.py to a profile, say p(z), computes two quantities:

• An integrated profile q(z) = int_{u=zmin}^{u=z} p(u) du (with z being a point of the Gauss colocation grid)
• the vertical sum int_{u=zmin}^{u=zmax} p(u) du
  I will leave this issue open until I have time to document this feature in the wiki.
