[Gmsh] Change coordinate of a vertex in a GModel using API

[Mikhail Artemyev]

All right.

Then use these functions to get non-const iterators pointing to vertices:

// from GModel class
typedef std::set<GVertex*, GEntityLessThan>::iterator viter;
viter firstVertex() { return vertices.begin(); }
viter lastVertex() { return vertices.end(); }

or, I guess you can redefine getVertexByTag function in such a way that 
it wouldn't be const and give you a non-const vertex iterator (in this 
case you'll clearly need to recompile the Gmsh library).

Best regards,
Mikhail

For know I recreate from scratch the GModel with the right coordinates, but of course this requires a certain amount of code and more operations to be performed by the code.
