#2947: CarpetX: Support 2D output

 Reporter: Maxwell Rizzo
   Status: new
Milestone: 
  Version: 
     Type: enhancement
 Priority: minor
Component: 

Changes (by Maxwell Rizzo):
Currently 1D slices (x/y/z) and the full 3D output for Grid Functions are both supported output configurations from CarpetX. CarpetX is missing functionality to output GFs sliced along 2D planes (xy, xz, yz). 

There is a sublety for how the slice is chosen, given the different centering options, some variables likely will not contain data along the `x/y/z=0` planes exactly, which is a similar sublety that the 1D output slice must resolve, hopefully these can be resolve consistently.

Also from a discussion with Roland, 2D output is inefficient for a Carpet/CarpetX simulation to output, compared to 1D and 3D. A performance test could be useful in gauging if this feature would be worth implementing/using at all in CarpetX.

TSV (or another text file format) probably makes sense as the starting point, if functional a compressed format like OpenPMD would also be desirable, bringing the 2D CarpetX output features in-line to what was present in Carpet.
