Hi Phillip,<br>
<br>
No, MLine is a mesh element of type line (a "1D" element). MEdge is a topological edge, joining two vertices.<br>
<br>
There is currently no documentation of the API; one of our objectives for Gmsh 4.0 is to design and distribute a high-level C API. This will not expose any of the internal complexity of the code.<br>
