min/max variable values on a per block basis
For some of our codes, the grid is organized into various blocks. For example, a dataset may be split such that each material is in a separate block in a multiblock dataset.
It would be good to have some method that will calculate standard values, such as mininum/maximum variable values on a per block basis, and have the results listed out neatly in a table. For example, if each material block had a density
variable, have a method to compute the local minimum and maximum density value of each block, and list them out in a table.
