Rectangle in the Z-X plane

Issue #93 new
Hara created an issue

I get the following error when I try to create a rectangle in the Z-X plane. I attempted several workarounds (rotating the coordinates of the mesh) but those did not work either. I would love to know if something like this will be included in the future or if there is a simple workaround?

In [1]: import mshr

In [2]: from dolfin import *

In [4]: rect=mshr.Rectangle(Point(-50,0,0),Point(50,0,50))

RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-4-874e3521bae0> in <module>()
----> 1 rect=mshr.Rectangle(Point(-50,0,0),Point(50,0,50))

RuntimeError:
