Visualization of ghosted entities

[joshia5]

In an attempt to create a single layer of ghost elements with mesh vertices defined as the bridge entity for this mesh(containing 4 mesh parts):

when I visualize the resultant mesh for a single mesh part in Paraview after the ghosting API call,

from the Information' tab I can see that each mesh part contains information about ghosted entities (also confirmed by printing number of local entities)

but it is not displayed in the render view

I'm not sure why this is happening, but you can try to change the GhostLevel that Omega_h prints in the VTK files:

I changed the Ghostlevel passed through api call and printed it's value which gets printed in vtk file and tried on finer mesh but the same result. Next thing to do can be to see whether the ghosted entities' data (the connectivity, coordinates, ids, etc of the ghosted entities) is written to vtk file.
