Normally, this is the kind of project that I am happy to take on. 
However, as I am working on the last phase of my research, as well as 
writing my dissertation, it's not something that I really have time for 
right now.

I figured out how to convert my XFEM data (non-standard interpolation 
functions) to DG data ("regular" elements where the discontinuity lies 
along the inter-element boundary), which appears to display my results 
just as I expect.  Thanks for the response!

Cheers,

Neil
