# DMGetCoordinatesLocal
Gets a local vector with the coordinates associated with the `DM`. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"          
PetscErrorCode DMGetCoordinatesLocal(DM dm, Vec *c)
```
Collective the first time it is called


## Input Parameter

- ***dm -*** the `DM`



## Output Parameter

- ***c -*** coordinate vector





## Notes
This is a borrowed reference, so the user should NOT destroy this vector

Each process has the local and ghost coordinates

For `DMDA`, in two and three dimensions coordinates are interlaced (x_0,y_0,x_1,y_1,...)
and (x_0,y_0,z_0,x_1,y_1,z_1...)
