anisotropy, defined via a couple of user functions describing the stretching direction and stretching amount. Alternatively the user can give the local metric tensor.
refinement is available both global and local.
a few a posteriori regularization procedures are also available.

Comments:

Can be integreted directly to a numerical code via library calls, or can be used standalone by writing mesh data to a file.
