# DMProjectFunctionLocal
This projects the given function into the function space provided by a `DM`, putting the coefficients in a local vector. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"          
#include "petscdmlabel.h"     
#include "petscds.h"     
PetscErrorCode DMProjectFunctionLocal(DM dm, PetscReal time, PetscErrorCode (**funcs)(PetscInt, PetscReal, const PetscReal[], PetscInt, PetscScalar *, void *), void **ctxs, InsertMode mode, Vec localX)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm      -*** The `DM`
- ***time    -*** The time
- ***funcs   -*** The coordinate functions to evaluate, one per field
- ***ctxs    -*** Optional array of contexts to pass to each coordinate function.  ctxs itself may be null.
- ***mode    -*** The insertion mode for values



## Output Parameter

- ***localX -*** vector



## Calling sequence of `funcs`
```none
PetscErrorCode funcs(PetscInt dim, PetscReal time, const PetscReal x[], PetscInt Nc, PetscScalar u[], void *ctx);
```

- ***dim -*** The spatial dimension
- ***x   -*** The coordinates
- ***Nc  -*** The number of components
- ***u   -*** The output field values
- ***ctx -*** optional user-defined function context





## Developer Notes
This API is specific to only particular usage of `DM`

The notes need to provide some information about what has to be provided to the `DM` to be able to perform the computation.
