It's a bit cumbersome to pass around mesh, dofmap, and form to be able
to create functions in finite element spaces. Maybe a FunctionSpace
class could collect the necessary info?
# Instead of:
uvec = Vector()
u = cpp_Function(mesh, uvec, dofmap, form, 0)
vvec = Vector()
v = cpp_Function(mesh, vvec, dofmap, form, 0)
# It would be nice to write:
U = FunctionSpace(mesh, dofmapset, form, 0) # or something similar
u = Function(U)
v = Function(U)
I think it sounds really good, but shouldn't it really be
V = FunctionSpace(mesh, finite_element, dof_map)
So
dofmapset --> dof_map
form --> finite_element
This concept is probably usable in C++ as well.
Yes, it should be implemented there.
(Note that I'm not volunteering to implement this myself now, don't
have the time).
ok. Could you put it on the todo list? Either we can keep editing the
TODO file in DOLFIN, or we can have a TODO list on the wiki. I think
Garth suggested this yesterday.
