[Gmsh] 2D mesh error message

[Yao-Cheng Tien]

Hi Mikhail,

I have attached three more testcases. I have tried to embed 10k, 50k, and
100k lines(with length 1) to a surface separately. The element size is 1.

The issue is that the 2d mesh(meshAdapt) works for 10k and 50k after
setting the Mesh.RandomFactor to 1e-6. However, the 100k one fails even
when I increase the Mesh.RandomFactor to 1e-4. The error message is
"Identical points in triangulation: increase element size or
Mesh.RandomFactor"

My questions are:
1. Is there any limit about the number of embedded lines? 100k embedded
lines are too much?
2. Any setting I missed to make it work?

Thank you!

Best,
YC
