[Gmsh] Element sizes and recombination algorithms

[Colin McAuliffe]

Hello all,

I have noticed that for all quad meshes, using the default  
recombination algorithm results in at least one node inserted between  
two geometrical points regardless of the specified characteristic  
sizes for the two points. Similarly, the blossom recombination  
algorithm inserts at least three nodes regardless of the specified  
sizes.

Is it possible to change this behavior? It is resulting in  
over-refined meshes.

Thanks
