X3DOM examples

This notebook demonstrates experimental DOLFIN features (http://fenicsproject.org) for X3DOM (http://www.x3dom.org/) and HTML output. The objective is to support the interactive display of meshes and simulation outputs in web browsers, including in Jupyter notebooks.

These examples use a development version of DOLFIN at https://bitbucket.org/garth-wells/dolfin-coding-days, and the branch x3dom.
