[Gmsh] Transfinite Line ?

[Pascal A. Dupuis]

Hello,

After looking at the t6.geo tutorial, I have a question about transfinite
surfaces or volumes. My undrstanding is that Transfinite Line permit to
control the number of mesh points on a line, but it looks like Transfinite
Surface and Volumes are a redefinition (refinement ?) of existing surfaces
and volumes. What is the purpose of this redefinition ? In order to get
correct meshing of cylinders portion, is Transfinite Line enough ?

TIA
