Detailed Description

Helper class for constructing spherical seed initial conditions.

This file defines the Seed class, a helper for creating spherical crystalline seeds with specific orientations. The Seed class:

• Generates density profiles for spherical regions
• Supports crystallographic orientations (BCC, FCC, etc.)
• Handles coordinate transformations (yaw, pitch, roll)
• Used by SingleSeed, SeedGrid, and RandomSeeds classes

The Seed class is a building block for various seeding strategies in solidification simulations.
