Hi, if I load a `gmsh` file with second-order elements, the coordinates will be stored in a DG-P2 space. After obtaining the coordinates of a cell, how can I map the coordinates to vertex and edge? 

By default, they are stored as P2, not DG.

I checked the coordinates vector, and found the dogs only defined on cell other than vertex and edge, so I said they are stored as DG.
Then the function DMPlexVecGetClosure seems return the coordinates in lex order.

Some code in reading gmsh file reads that


1756:     if (isSimplex) continuity = PETSC_FALSE; /* XXX FIXME Requires DMPlexSetClosurePermutationLexicographic() */


1758:     GmshCreateFE(comm, NULL, isSimplex, continuity, nodeType, dim, coordDim, order, &fe)


The continuity is set to false for simplex.


Oh, yes. That needs to be fixed. For now, you can just project it to P2 if you want using

Thanks,

You can ask for the coordinates of a vertex or an edge directly using


by giving the vertex or edge point. You can get all the coordinates on a cell, in the closure order, using

Below is some code load the gmsh file, I want to know the relation between `cl` and `cell_coords`.

```
import firedrake as fd
import numpy as np

# Load gmsh file (2rd)
plex = fd.mesh._from_gmsh('test-fd-load-p2-rect.msh')

cs, ce = plex.getHeightStratum(0)

cdm = plex.getCoordinateDM()
csec = dm.getCoordinateSection()
coords_gvec = dm.getCoordinates()

for i in range(cs, ce):
    cell_coords = cdm.getVecClosure(csec, coords_gvec, i)
    print(f'coordinates for cell {i} :\n{cell_coords.reshape([-1, 3])}')
    cl = dm.getTransitiveClosure(i)
    print('closure:', cl)
    break
```

Best wishes,
Zongze
