Were you able to work it out successfully in `2019.1.0` ? I made the necessary formatting changes [here](https://fenicsproject.discourse.group/t/creating-quad-mesh-using-rectanglemesh/1025/9) but I’m getting a weird cell reordering issue after that (which was apparently resolved in late 2018: see [this](https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/issues/997/quad-hex-meshes-need-ordering-check) )
