That just calls normal of TriangleCell or TetrahedronCell. TriangleCell only returns a normal for topological dimension 2. It is really not difficult, it just took some more time than I anticipated, and I do not need the feature. I just needed area :) Johan _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dolfin Post to : dolfin@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dolfin More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
