Floating point error in feature detection breaks interpn
It looks like there is a chance during the feature detection step for the identification of cells on boundary edges which result in hdim1 or hdim2 values slightly outside of the maximum boundary. I.e. the feature detection can create a cell with ix value of 218.00000003 when the maximum index is 218, and this throws an error in tobac/general.py:107 with coordinate_points = interpn(points, values, xi)
raising ValueError: One of the requested xi is out of bounds in dimension 0
Full Error:

This can be fixed by using np.clip to ensure there is no overflow:
elif variable_cube.coord(coord).ndim == 2:
if variable_cube.coord_dims(coord) == (hdim_1, hdim_2):
points = (dimvec_1, dimvec_2)
values = variable_cube.coord(coord).points
temp_hdim1 = np.clip(t['hdim_1'].values, 0, points[0].max())
temp_hdim2 = np.clip(t['hdim_2'].values, 0, points[1].max())
xi = np.column_stack((temp_hdim1, temp_hdim2))
coordinate_points = interpn(points, values, xi)
