Incompatibilities

+ +

+Following are a few modifications to the library that unfortunately +are incompatible with previous versions of the library, but which we +deem necessary for the future maintainability of the +library. Unfortunately, some of these changes will require +modifications to application programs. We apologize for the +inconvenience this causes. +

+ + +
    +
  1. + Changed: The internal numbering of faces, lines and vertices + has been reimplemented. Now the numbering scheme uses a + lexicographic ordering (with x running fastest) whereever + possible. For more information on the new numbering scheme, see + the announcement + on the mailing list.
    The ordering of vertices in CellData given to the Triangulation::create_triangulation + function has been changed accordingly. For backward + compatibility there is now a new Triangulation::create_triangulation_compatibility + function which takes CellData in the + old vertex ordering. However, as this function might not be + supported forever users are advised to change their code to the + new numbering scheme and to use the Triangulation::create_triangulation + function.
