# DMRestrict
restricts user-defined problem data to a coarser `DM` by running hooks registered by `DMCoarsenHookAdd()` 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"          
#include "petscdmlabel.h"     
#include "petscds.h"     
PetscErrorCode DMRestrict(DM fine, Mat restrct, Vec rscale, Mat inject, DM coarse)
```
Collective if any hooks are


## Input Parameters

- ***fine -*** finer `DM` from which the data is obtained
- ***restrct -*** restriction matrix, apply using `MatRestrict()`, usually the transpose of the interpolation
- ***rscale -*** scaling vector for restriction
- ***inject -*** injection matrix, also use `MatRestrict()`
- ***coarse -*** coarser `DM` to update





## Developer Note
Though this routine is called `DMRestrict()` the hooks are added with `DMCoarsenHookAdd()`, a consistent terminology would be better
