# DMCompositeScatter
Scatters from a global packed vector into its individual local vectors 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdmcomposite.h"  
PetscErrorCode DMCompositeScatter(DM dm, Vec gvec, ...)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** the `DMCOMPOSITE` object
- ***gvec -*** the global vector
- ***Vec ... -*** the individual sequential vectors, NULL for those that are not needed





## Note
`DMCompositeScatterArray()` is a non-variadic alternative that is often more convenient for library callers and is
accessible from Fortran.
