[petsc-dev] MatSetValuesStencil analogue in petsc4py

[Nathan Collier]

Chris,

I am not sure if this is the right place or not, but it seems to me that
MatSetValuesStencil is the only function called in petsc4py. I don't see a
wrapper for MatSetValueStencil implemented.

It can be tricky to figure out what is going on in petsc4py--your best bet
is to look at source code. In the lack of documentation, I use ack (
http://beyondgrep.com/) to search the petsc4py source code, looking for the
desired PETSc function. For example,

ack MatSetValuesStencil

returns

src/PETSc/petscmat.pxi
222:    int
MatSetValuesStencil(PetscMat,PetscInt,PetscMatStencil[],PetscInt,PetscMatStencil[],PetscScalar[],PetscInsertMode)
1027:        CHKERR( MatSetValuesStencil(A,

but 'ack MatSetValueStencil' returns nothing. Hope it helps,

Nate
