I split the contour computations and rasterization into a separate package that does not have any dependencies: https://github.com/pazner/TriplotBase.jl This could then be presumably used by Makie to render contours/filled contours....

Hi @mlstowell, hope you don't mind me chiming in… I think you can simplify/reduce a lot of boilerplate in the `ArraysByName` class, see [this branch](https://github.com/mfem/mfem/compare/named-attr-sets...named-attr-sets-simplify) for a suggestion.

I would also suggest removing all the copy constructors and copy assignment operators (the implicitly-declared ones will do the job just fine). `ArraysByName::Copy` also becomes unnecessary. Personally I also don't...

> > @v-dobrev suggested an alternative approach, where the workspace/"arena allocator" is available as a `MemoryType`. This would have some advantages (for example, other data structures, such as arrays or...

I substantially re-worked this PR after some discussion and feedback. (There has been a force-push to this branch—sorry!). The fast arena allocator is now implemented using the memory manager. This...

@dylan-copeland, @samuelpmishLLNL, I was thinking about this discussion, and also about whether a design like this could allow for mixing multiple precisions in the same application. I put together a...

@dylan-copeland, thanks for checking it out. You make a lot of good points! Yes, I think that approach can largely be built on this PR, and the total changes should...

Hi @gridfunction, You can use the following `ParGridFunction` constructor to create a parallel grid function from a serial (global) grid function: https://github.com/mfem/mfem/blob/4ba0c28a6ab815081946fdd7b5750be0324bc920/fem/pgridfunc.hpp#L83-L87 This requires knowing the partition of the serial...

Hi @bclyons12, if you are working on a Julia interface, feel free to post any questions that come up here or in a draft PR, and I can try to...
