void t8_cmesh_set_derive(t8_cmesh_t cmesh, t8_cmesh_t set_from)

This function sets a cmesh to be derived from.

The default is to create a cmesh standalone by specifying all data manually. A coarse mesh can also be constructed by deriving it from an existing one. The derivation from another cmesh may optionally be combined with a repartition or uniform refinement of each tree. This function overrides a previously set cmesh to be derived from.

Parameters:

• cmesh – [inout] Must be initialized, but not committed. May even be NULL to revert to standalone.

• set_from – [inout] Reference counter on this cmesh is bumped. It will be unbumped by t8_cmesh_commit, after which from is no longer remembered. Other than that the from object is not changed.
