  Points within the box stencil you can set with MatSetValuesStencil() but points outside the box stencil, like in the dense rows MUST be set with MatSetValues() using global numbering (which is a pain), you cannot set those values with MatSetValuesStencil().

But DMDASetGetMatrix() will not accept pointer of this function. Please give a suggestion to overcome this.

How can I  tell petsc that those rows need to be preallocated with more entries? I don't want to use MatMPIAIJSetPreallocation() since advantages of DM might be lost.
