Finite Difference Solution to Poisson's Equation on Irregular Domain

Hi,

Are there any open source C or Fortran libraries for solving 3D Poisson'sequation on an irrefular domain? I'm having difficulty finding them.

If not, is there any papers or recipes that would be useful so I could write my own? Speed is not a priority, I just need anything that works.

Thanks

Even with this question, Google is your friend:

The FISHPACK library should give you a good starting point.

... except it only handles regular domains and grids (in several different coordinate systems).

If you want to solve in a completely arbitrary region, I would look for a finite element or finite volume code. Google is your friend, again.
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
