mesh plot, option to ignore original cell ids #18550

Open cyrush opened 1 year ago

cyrush commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem?

In cases where original cell ids are used, it would be handy to have a toggle that shows all the cells for debugging and general understanding

For example, you can learn something if there is no difference between using the orig cell ids and not using them, or if you do a LOD refinement it can be good to see "how big" the refined mesh is.

Is your feature request specific to a data set?

Helpful for MFEM data.

Describe the solution you'd like.

New option in the mesh plot, we should brain storm the proper name.

Draw Refined Edges?

Draw Refined Edges?

I might suggest internal edges or maybe generated edges.

Not all of these types of edges are the result of (adaptive) refinement. For example, arbitrary polyhedral conversion to zoo type zones creates them too though it does also make sense to think of that as a sort of refinement of the mesh topology.

Good call, I like Draw Generated Edges
