Developers will reply it better but as far as I read from the METIS 
manual (which is the default graph partitioner in Gmsh), it can handle 
quadrangles, triangles, hexahedra and tetrahedra so it works for these 
elements. There are no algorithms for points and lines as I understand, 
I have not read about Chaco partitioner though.
