Hi!
I just found your greate lib and I am just figuring out, if I can use it for my project. I'm doing flow visualization of dataset with a finite domain. The odeint lib could be used to integrate stream / path-lines in this domains. However, since the domains are
only finite it will always be possible that a streamline integration leaves the domain. This is easily determined in a FlowField class that samples the field. However, I don't know how to communicate this event to the odeint integrators. I think the best way would be to integrate some kind of exception system to the odeint lib, for example for out of bounds sampling, critical point detection or simply for generic errors related to ODE system evaluation. Would it be hard to implement support for this
in a generic way or is the library not designed to handle this kind of ODE systems?
