Used VectorElement instead of VectorFunctionSpace in python script

[Lothar Schumacher]

According to the arguments page 197 line 3 of first python script on page should probably use VectorFunctionSpace and not VectorElement.

[Martin Sandve Alnæs (martinal)]

No, that is correct. VectorFunctionSpace is a dolfin class, while VectorElement is the right name in ufl.

[Lothar Schumacher (lschumacher)]

The python script in question starts with

"from dolfin import *
mesh = UnitSquare(8, 8)
V = VectorElement(mesh, "Lagrange", 1)"

If I run this through python I get

"Invalid domain Lagrange."

"V=VectorFunctionSpace(mesh, "Lagrange", 1)" would work and to me makes much more sense.

Looks to me like a bug - the code extract in question is DOLFIN code,
not pure UFL.

Then I must have looked at the wrong code and I guess you are right!

Yes! It's a bug. I'll fix it and send it to the publisher.

I'm not sure it will make it into the printing. It depends on how far
the production process has come.
