I'm a newbie to finite element, and I guess I wasn't very clear how to store the data on a degree 1 LAGRANGE basis in the code... I just tried to give fxy the correct RHS value and do the same thing as example 3. I know that the quadrature points are not the node values... How do I assign the correct values and not have MeshData think I'm giving it a node it doens't know about? (Also, am I using mesh_data,operator() correctly? And is this the function to use?) Would I be better off storing data to be used in the RHS for elements instead of for the nodes instead? I guess I don't know this too well for now, so might need you to spell it out more...
