That is to say, all their "data" components must be the same type - eg float, int, short... and rank and shape - eg scalar, n-vector. I imagine the "same type of connection" is as I said, agree on whether they represent volumes, surfaces, lines or whatever and do so in a space of the same dimensionality.
If you are dealing with surface elements - eg. quads and triangles, and
you are rendering smooth surfaces, I'd give serious thought to Lloyd's
solution - the overhead of converting quads to triangles is probably worth
the C1 continuity that you get. Visible partition boundaries suck.

That would be great! It makes sense.
But has anyone had sucess with such a MultiGrid? What, then, is the meaning
of the sentence "All the members of a MultiGrid Group must have the same
type of data and the same type of connection" in the Programmer's Reference
Manual, page 99?
