I'd like to plot a VectorFunction element on a 3d surface mesh with HTML(X3DOM().html())
inlined in a Jupyter notebook, but I can't figure out how to do this.
A naive call does show the mesh color coded, visualizing some scalar quantity which is probably the magnitude (?) of the vector field. I'd rather expect a glyph visualization as was previously (Fenics <= 1.6) the case with the VTK plotter, using the simple plot
function.
My mesh is a surface mesh embedded in $R^3$, i.e. of topological dimension 2 and geometric dimension 3 if this matters.
I'm using the Fenics 2016.2 conda packages which apparently don't come with the vtk plotting backend anymore (?), and the latest Anaconda 4.3.0 on 64bit Linux.
