# PCPatchSetComputeOperator
Set the callback used to compute patch matrices 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCPatchSetComputeOperator(PC pc, PetscErrorCode (*func)(PC, PetscInt, Vec, Mat, IS, PetscInt, const PetscInt *, const PetscInt *, void *), void *ctx)
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***pc   -*** The `PC`
- ***func -*** The callback
- ***ctx  -*** The user context



## Calling sequence of `func`
```none
PetscErrorCode func(PC pc, PetscInt point, Vec x, Mat mat, IS facetIS, PetscInt n, const PetscInt* dofsArray, const PetscInt* dofsArrayWithAll, void* ctx)
```

- ***pc               -*** The `PC`
- ***point            -*** The point
- ***x                -*** The input solution (not used in linear problems)
- ***mat              -*** The patch matrix
- ***cellIS           -*** An array of the cell numbers
- ***n                -*** The size of `dofsArray`
- ***dofsArray        -*** The dofmap for the dofs to be solved for
- ***dofsArrayWithAll -*** The dofmap for all dofs on the patch
- ***ctx              -*** The user context





## Note
The matrix entries have been set to zero before the call.
