Hi Dr. Wheeler,

I thought I still need fipy because I need facegrad and divergence. Do they all 
have counterparts in lsmlib? I have a couple of other questions.

1.Computedistance2d is similar to calcdistancefunction() in fipy, is it?  How 
often is it required to use this function to update? As often as possible?

2. Some times I can only calculate the extension velocity where distance 
variable has a value of zero ( a very thin layer). What is the best way to 
update distance variable in this situation?

Thanks very much.

Best,

Yunbo
