Hello,
I have a question about the way the prescribed mesh size is imposed when 
meshing an edge: in function LC_MVertex_PNTS(GEntity *ge, double U, double V) 
in file ./Mesh/BackgroundMesh.cpp that is used to set l2 (the characteristic 
length from points), it is said that if prescribed mesh size at the edge 
extremities is GREATER than 1e22, then lc=referenceLength / 10; where the 
referenceLength is the diagonal of the domain bounding box.

In the sources there is already a FIXME note (// FIXME we might want to remove 
this to make all lc treatment consistent), but I would like to understand from 
where this arbitrary size comes from. How to ensure that the results is always 
the expected one?
I would not expect that the resulting mesh depends on the domain bounding-box 
size, or that using 1e22 or 1e21 influences the result .

Thanks for your explanations,

Regards,
Simone
