Re: cell jacobian

 

It probably should be added in dolfin/ufc.  Sometimes we want to play around
with things that aren't supported by ffc yet.  Having a full-featured c++
library (and python bindings) would help.  An example would be Berstein
polynomials, which use a different evaluation method than in ffc/fiat.
 Another example is the transformation business I'm working that needs cell
jacobians and other geometric information.  I'd like to look at hand-done
implementations using the dolfin library (preferably PyDolfin) to make sure
stuff works before going through the labor of teaching ffc how to do it.
