// The C++ API allows to do much more than what can be done in .geo files. These
// additional features are introduced gradually in the extended tutorials,
// starting with `x1.cpp'.

// In this first extended tutorial, we start by using the API to access basic
// geometrical and mesh data.

  // Geometrical data is made of elementary model `entities', called `points'
  // (entities of dimension 0), `curves' (entities of dimension 1), `surfaces'
  // (entities of dimension 2) and `volumes' (entities of dimension 3). As we
  // have seen in the other C++ tutorials, elementary model entities are
  // identified by their dimension and by a `tag': a strictly positive
  // identification number. Model entities can be either CAD entities (from the
  // built-in `geo' kernel or from the OpenCASCADE `occ' kernel) or `discrete'
  // entities (defined by a mesh). `Physical groups' are collections of model
  // entities and are also identified by their dimension and by a tag.

  // Get all the elementary entities in the model, as a vector of (dimension,
  // tag) pairs:
  std::vector<std::pair<int, int> > entities;
  gmsh::model::getEntities(entities);

  for(auto e : entities) {
    // Dimension and tag of the entity:
    int dim = e.first, tag = e.second;

    // Mesh data is made of `elements' (points, lines, triangles, ...), defined
    // by an ordered list of their `nodes'. Elements and nodes are identified by
    // `tags' as well (strictly positive identification numbers), and are stored
    // ("classified") in the model entity they discretize. Tags for elements and
    // nodes are globally unique (and not only per dimension, like entities).

    // A model entity of dimension 0 (a geometrical point) will contain a mesh
    // element of type point, as well as a mesh node. A model curve will contain
    // line elements as well as its interior nodes, while its boundary nodes
    // will be stored in the bounding model points. A model surface will contain
    // triangular and/or quadrangular elements and all the nodes not classified
    // on its boundary or on its embedded entities. A model volume will contain
    // tetrahedra, hexahedra, etc. and all the nodes not classified on its
    // boundary or on its embedded entities.

    // Get the mesh nodes for the entity (dim, tag):
