<div dir="ltr">It works in serial. In parallel, it currently gives the diagonal of the "diagonal blocks" induced by the row and column distributions.

Not a show stopper, I am trying to get the diagonal of some small<br>
projected, dense matrices (which come from large sparse matrices). I<br>
am running in serial because 1) Since my projected matrices are small,<br>
and 2) PETSc does not do certain matrix multiplications involving a<br>
dense matrix in parallel,<br>
