[petsc-users] query DMPlexCreateSection

Well,  I was wondering, if i could use:

DMPlexCreateSectionBCDof (1) and DMPlexCreateSectionBCIndicesAll (2)

as is done in DMPLexCreateSection
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/src/dm/impls/plex/plex.c.html#DMPlexCreateSection

Since I am trying to setup section for a problem with different number
of fields in different domains (regions). I redid the code for initial
section creation.

So the concern is if i am to setup BC's for  the above scenario, is
the code going to be different from the sequence of calls inside (1)
and (2), once the initial section is defined.

Thanks
Reddy

Thanks
Reddy
