element

The element module defines reference elements such as the LineReference and TriangleReference, but also more exotic objects like the MosaicReference. A set of (interconnected) elements together form a nutils.topology.Topology. Elements have edges and children (for refinement), which are in turn elements and map onto self by an affine transformation. They also have a well defined reference coordinate system, and provide pointsets for purposes of integration and sampling.
