[petsc-users] Uninterpolating DMLabels?

Sorry I am a little confused here. I understand that each refinement of a
3D simplex element yields 8 subcells, but give the expression c_f \in [C
c_c, C (c_c + 1) ) what exactly are these and/or what do they mean:

c_f \in [... )
C
c_c
(c_c + 1)

Originally I was thinking the functions DMPlexGetTransitiveClosure(...)
and/or DMPlexGetCoarseDM(...) need to be invoked somehow. Do they?

Again thanks for your help
