they affect the sparsity pattern.
You can also visualize the output using <a
-href="http://www.gnuplot.info/">GNUPLOT</a> (one of the simpler visualization
-programs; maybe not the easiest to use since it is command line driven, but
-also universally available on all Linux and other Unix-like systems) by changing from <code>print_svg()</code> to <code>print_gnuplot()</code> in <code>distribute_dofs()</code> and <code>renumber_dofs()</code>:
