[petsc-users] dmplex extruded layers

[Mark Adams]

This is a Matt question but if ex10 does what you want, and works, then I
would copy the construction sequence carefully. You are probably doing
something slightly different.

* I don't think DMPlexFindVertices will work for you. It looks like you
need the exact points that you are looking for.
I have a branch (adams/snes-ex56-update) that creates a label for simple
vertical faces that looks at the coordinates of a face and sees if they all
have the same x or y coordinate.
You might want to modify that to look for all vertices with the same radius.

*  I visualize subdomains by giving each cell one dof and putting the
processor ID in that dof. You get a global view but the subdomains are
different colors.
