Thanks. I had one more question regarding...

If subdomain identifiers are stored in MeshData structure (as opposed
to having a  MeshFunction "material indicators"), will they be
transformed when the mesh is refined?  I looked at
LocalMeshRefinement::transformMeshData(), but couldnt figure this
thing out.

For storing the subdomain identifiers, should the array be named
"material indicators", in which case dolfin will automatically make a
mesh function out of it?

Thanks,
