Hi,
We are doing some detailed review of the tutorial files (t1.geo -
t9.geo that come with Gmsh 2.4.2) as a process of creating teaching
materials for our FE code that uses Gmsh as preprocessing front
end. In the process, at the stage of the review until t3.geo, we came
to have the following comments (we hope we are not nitpicking). What
do you think?
Dear Takuya - many thanks for your insightful comments. We've tried to
address them in the new version of the tutorial
https://geuz.org/trac/gmsh/changeset/7024 (login: gmsh passwd: gmsh)
Let us know if you have other ideas to improve the documentation: we
would be very glad to use them.
Best,
Christophe and David
Thanks,
Takuya
[t1.geo]
Line 62 "specifying their orientation": it might be better if we have
an explanation that this applies only for lines and surfaces, and
have an example in one of the following physical entity definitions
so that one can see how to specify the orientation.
[t2.geo]
Overall, one may hardly be able to follow the tutorial since there is
little explanation about which entities Points 8, 12, 16, 7, Lines
102-105, etc. are referring to (and which exact process generated
the entities). If the entity numbers are to be obtained by saving
unrolled geometry as explained at the bottom of t2.geo, the
explanation might be better to come at the top of the file and to be
clearly stated as such.
Lines 32-33 "a list": it might be better if it is clearly stated that
the list is referring to tmp[] (obvious for programmers, but not for
non-programmers).
[t3.geo]
Line 40 "news": the special meaning of the variable may be worth
being mentioned.
Lines 76-77 "`Tools->Options->Save as defaults' button": there does
not seem to be such a button on the GUI?
