Yes.

This is the tricky part. What you likely have to do is:
1) Build the topology
2) Run over the cells
3) For each cell, put in the coordinates using DMPlexVecSetClosure().
This is redundant, but the only way
you can connect with the Q9 format.

This is the idea. The amount of testing is so far almost nothing.

That is a good question. Right now, it will just output Q4. However,
compared to everything else, writing Q9 should
be comparatively easy.

I would probably write code to to Xdmf through HDF5 rather than straight
VTK, but we will end up having both.

It will. I do not know if it currently does. We have to check.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
