Todo:
Optimise this function
Warning
This function is expensive to call. Do not use in performance critical code
Parameters
celltypeThe cell::type
dimDimension of sub-entity
Returns
The number of sub-entities of the given dimension

◆ sub_entity_connectivity()

std::vector< std::vector< std::vector< std::vector< int > > > > basix::cell::sub_entity_connectivity ( cell::type  celltype)
