# DMStagSetUniformCoordinatesExplicit
set `DMSTAG` coordinates to be a uniform grid, storing all values 
## Synopsis
```
PetscErrorCode DMStagSetUniformCoordinatesExplicit(DM dm, PetscReal xmin, PetscReal xmax, PetscReal ymin, PetscReal ymax, PetscReal zmin, PetscReal zmax)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** the `DMSTAG` object
- ***xmin -*** minimum global coordinate value in the x direction
- ***xmax -*** maximum global coordinate values in the x direction
- ***ymin -*** minimum global coordinate value in the y direction
- ***ymax -*** maximum global coordinate value in the y direction
- ***zmin -*** minimum global coordinate value in the z direction
- ***zmax -*** maximum global coordinate value in the z direction





## Notes
`DMSTAG` supports 2 different types of coordinate `DM`: either another `DMSTAG`, or a `DMPRODUCT`.
If the grid is orthogonal, using `DMPRODUCT` should be more efficient.

Arguments corresponding to higher dimensions are ignored for 1D and 2D grids.

See the manual page for `DMStagSetUniformCoordinates()` for information on how
coordinates for dummy cells outside the physical domain boundary are populated.
