For example, in three dimensions:

• the triangles discretizing a surface will be forced to be faces of tetrahedra in the final 3D mesh only if the surface is part of the boundary of a volume;
• the line elements discretizing a curve will be forced to be edges of tetrahedra in the final 3D mesh only if the curve is part of the boundary of a surface, itself part of the boundary of a volume;
• a single node discretizing a point in the middle of a volume will be forced to be a vertex of one of the tetrahedra in the final 3D mesh only if this point is connected to a curve, itself part of the boundary of a surface, itself part of the boundary of a volume...

The affectation operators are introduced in 2.6 General commands.

For compatibility with GetDP (http://www.geuz.org/getdp/), parentheses can be replaced by brackets [].

(4)

For compatibility purposes, the behavior of newl, news, newv and newreg can be modified with the Geometry.OldNewReg option (see section 3.2 Geometry options).

Nearly all the interactive commands have shortcuts: see 8.5 Keyboard shortcuts, or select `Help->Keyboard Shortcuts' in the menu.

If you compile Gmsh without the graphical user interface, i.e., with ./configure --disable-gui, this is the only mode you have access to.

Beware that this is different from the ordering of the node coordinates in the ASCII and binary post-processing file formats.
