# Source code for tecplot.data.zone

    """.. _Zones:

    Zones describe the size, shape, element (cell) geometry, connectivity and
    solution time of arrays in a dataset. Zones created as "ordered," "classic
    finite-element," or "polytopal finite-element" along with the number of nodes
    and elements which can not be changed (without creating a new zone). Ordered
    zones are always considered to be logically-rectangular grids of one, two or
    three dimensions depending on the shape. Classic finite-element zones must use
    a fixed-type element throughout. This means that each element has the same
    number of faces and nodes. Polytopal zones can have a varying number of faces
    and nodes for each element. The connectivity is implied in ordered zones and
    explicitly provided by the user for finite-element zones.

    In PyTecplot, there are three zone class objects: `OrderedZone`,
    `ClassicFEZone` and `PolyFEZone`. The `OrderedZone` and `ClassicFEZone` classes
    use the `FaceNeighbors` class to handle "global" face-neighbor connections from
    one zone to another. The connectivity for the `ClassicFEZone` objects are
    accessed through the `Nodemap` class. The `PolyFEZone` objects provide element
    definition and connectivity access through the `Facemap` class.
