[petsc-users] Extracting a particular DOF from DMDA vector

[amlan barua]

Thanks. Let me state my problem more clearly.
I have a DMDAVector with n DOFs. My application demands  the scattering of
individual components into vectors so that I can perform Mat-Vec
multiplication on individual DOFs. How do I make sure that  the vector to
which I want to scatter has same parallel layout as the original DMDAVector
with n dofs?
Can I create two DMDAVectors, one from a DMDA with n dofs and other from
DMDA with 1 dof and everything same otherwise?
