Hi,
I'm modifying my 3d fortran code from MPI along 1 direction (z) to MPI along 2
directions (y,z)
Previously I was using MatSetValues with global indices. However, now I'm using
DM and global indices is much more difficult.
I come across MatSetValuesStencil or MatSetValuesLocal.
So what's the difference bet the one since they both seem to work locally?
No. MatSetValuesLocal() takes local indices. MatSetValuesStencil() takes global
vertex numbers.
So MatSetValuesStencil() takes global vertex numbers. Do you mean the natural or
petsc ordering?
Which is a simpler/better option?
MatSetValuesStencil() Is there an example in Fortran for MatSetValuesStencil?
Timothée Nicolas shows one in his reply.

Do I also need to use DMDAGetAO together with MatSetValuesStencil or
MatSetValuesLocal?
No.
Thanks,
Matt Thanks!
