# DMInterpolate
interpolates user-defined problem data attached to a `DM` to a finer `DM` by running hooks registered by `DMRefineHookAdd()` 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"          
#include "petscdmlabel.h"     
#include "petscds.h"     
PetscErrorCode DMInterpolate(DM coarse, Mat interp, DM fine)
```
Collective if any hooks are


## Input Parameters

- ***coarse -*** coarser `DM` to use as a base
- ***interp -*** interpolation matrix, apply using `MatInterpolate()`
- ***fine -*** finer `DM` to update





## Developer Note
This routine is called `DMInterpolate()` while the hook is called `DMRefineHookAdd()`. It would be better to have an
an API with consistent terminology.
