Steps to construct a straight-line flux coordinate system

In Sec. 6, we have provided the steps to construct the magnetic surface coordinate system $ (\psi , \theta , \phi )$. Only one additional step is needed to construct the straight-line flux coordinate system $ (\psi , \theta , \zeta )$. The additional step is to calculate the generalized toroidal angle $ \zeta $ according to Eq. (235), where $ \delta$ is obtained from Eq. ([*]). This step introduces the new toroidal angle $ \zeta $ and thus introduces a new magnetic surfaces coordinate system $ (\psi , \theta , \zeta )$, which is a straight-line flux coordinate system. Also note that the Jacobian of $ (\psi , \theta , \zeta )$ coordinates happens to be equal to that of $ (\psi , \theta , \phi )$ coordinates.
