Purpose : 
    To find out if an array of characters is an element of another array 
    of characters
 
 
Input paramters : 
 
       S (char *) : Mother String (character array)
       Ssub (char *) : Subset array
       
 
Usage : 
      int SUMA_iswordin (const char *S, const char *Ssub );
 
 (you could use space characters in the two strings like:
    SUMA_iswordin ("Hello The Gump","The Gu"); would return a 1
    SUMA_iswordin ("Hello The Gump",""); would return a 1
    SUMA_iswordin ("Hello The Gump","Tha"); would return a 0
    SUMA_iswordin ("Hello The Gump"," "); would return a 1
    SUMA_iswordin ("Hel","Hello sdsd"); would return a 0 
    
Returns : 
          returns 1 if Ssub is part of S 
          returns 0 if Ssub is not part of S 
          returns -1 if either Ssub or S is NULL
          returns -2 if both Ssub and S are NULL

Purpose :

Usage :

Input paramters : 
    v (int *) (nr x nc) vector containing the 2D matrix to display
   nr (int) the number of rows in v
   nc (int) the number of columns
   SpcOpt (int) : spacing option (0 for space, 1 for tab and 2 for comma)
   d_order (SUMA_INDEXING_ORDER): Indicates how multiple values per node are stored in fin
                        SUMA_ROW_MAJOR: The data in fin is stored in *** Row Major *** order.
                        The ith value (start at 0) for node n is at index fin[vpn*n+i]
                        SUMA_COLUMN_MAJOR: The data in fin is stored in *** Column Major *** order.
                        The ith (start at 0) value for node n is at index fin[n+SO->N_Node*i]; 
                        etc...
   Out (FILE *) pointer to output file. If NULL then output is to stdout.
   AddRowInd (SUMA_Boolean) YUP  = add the row index in the first column

   computes the time elapsed between different operations, for example:
   
   float delta_t;

   SUMA_etime (&tt, 0);  :the zero tells the function to start a new counter 
   
    :operations are here ...... 
   
   delta_t = SUMA_etime (&tt, 1);  :computes the time between tt the time stamp (set in the previous call) 
                              :delta_t is the elapsed time in seconds

   \brief Determines is a point in 2D is inside a polygon with no holes.
   The function's parameters are abit strange because of the intended use.
   
   \param P (float *) 3x1 vector containing XYZ of the point to test
   \param NodeList (float *) the proverbial nodelist xyz xyz xyz etc.
   \param FaceSetList (int *) the proverbial FaceSetList defining polygons 
   \param N_FaceSet (int) number of polygons in each list
   \param FaceSetDim (int) number of points forming polygon
   \param dims (int) 2x1 vector indicating which dimensions to consider.
                     Recall this a 2D inclusion function! For example, 
                     if dims = [ 0 1] then the z coordinate (2) is not considered
                     if dims = [ 0 2] then the y coordinate (1) is not considered
                     if dims = [ 2 1] then the x coordinate (0) is not considered
   \params N_in (int *) to contain the number of polygons that contain p
   \param usethis (byte *) use this vector to store results (see return param)
   \return isin (byte *) if isin[iv] the point P is in polygon iv

File : from ~/Programs/C/Z/Zlib/code/SUMA_z_qsort.c
Author : Ziad Saad
Date : Fri Nov 20 15:30:55 CST 1998
   
Purpose : 
   A sorting function that uses C library's qsort and returns an index table 
   with it. So, if you're sorting vector x, you'll get y (y is STORED IN x, make a copy of x
   before calling the function if you want to preserve the unsorted version of x), a sorted version of
   x, and I such that x(I) = y;
   
   
Usage : 
   I = SUMA_z_qsort ( x , nx  );
   I = SUMA_z_dqsort ( x , nx );
   
Input paramters : 
   x (*float) vector of  floats, sorted array is returned in x
   nx (int) number of elements in x
   
   If you are sorting integers, use SUMA_z_dqsort where x is an (int *)
   
   
Returns : 
   I (int *) [nx x 1] vector containing the index table
   x, of course, is sorted
   
   
Support : 
   
   
   
Side effects :

               If the number of facesets is the same as in the previous 
               call and PrevMTI is not NULL then MTI is not reallocated for.
               
               If PrevMTI is not null and the last N_FaceSet was different

               This change appears to save about 18% of the function's 
               execution time. Be careful not to free PrevMTI without setting 
               it to NULL and then send it to SUMA_MT_intersect_triangle.

NOTE: 
Tue Jan  7 15:07:05 EST 2003 Shruti noted that problems occured when a ray intersected a node. 
She is correct, if a ray intersects a node, it may or may not be detected and the results are undetermined. 
This is only expected to happen with synthesized data and checking for such situations will slow the function down. 
If you must use such data, I recommend you add a tiny bit of noise to the vertex coordinates
or to your normals.
