# DMPlexCreateHypercubicMesh
Creates a periodic mesh on the tensor product of unit intervals using only vertices and edges. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdmplex.h"   
#include "petscdmplex.h"   
PetscErrorCode DMPlexCreateHypercubicMesh(MPI_Comm comm, PetscInt dim, const PetscInt edges[], const PetscReal lower[], const PetscReal upper[], DM *dm)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***comm        -*** The communicator for the DM object
- ***dim         -*** The spatial dimension
- ***edges       -*** Number of edges per dimension, or `NULL` for (1,) in 1D and (2, 2) in 2D and (1, 1, 1) in 3D
- ***lower       -*** The lower left corner, or `NULL` for (0, 0, 0)
- ***upper       -*** The upper right corner, or `NULL` for (1, 1, 1)



## Output Parameter

- ***dm  -*** The DM object





## Note
If you want to customize this mesh using options, you just need to
```none
  DMCreate(comm, &dm);
  DMSetType(dm, DMPLEX);
  DMSetFromOptions(dm);
```

and use the options on the `DMSetFromOptions()` page.

The vertices are numbered is lexicographic order, and the dim edges exiting a vertex in the positive orthant are number consecutively,
