Another PatchLevelFillPattern type might be useful.
Do you have integrated a kind of PatchLevelFillPattern that fills all ghost cells, including coarse-fine boundary, physical boundary and ghost cells covered by other patches on the same level? If not, do you have plan to add it?
If I understand your description, this is the default behavior and does not require a fill pattern.
If my understanding is correct, the default setting would fill every cell that could be filled. However, I was wondering whether there is a LevelFillPatern that could fill ONLY ghost cells and leave all real cells unfilled even if they could be.
Oh, I see. A fill pattern that skips interiors seems like an unusual operation in my experience. Can you describe the use case for it?
It was just out of my curiosity during learning SAMRAI. Thanks for hearing back from you anyway.
