# DMSetCoordinatesLocal
Sets into the `DM` a local vector, including ghost points, that holds the coordinates 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"          
PetscErrorCode DMSetCoordinatesLocal(DM dm, Vec c)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** the `DM`
- ***c -*** coordinate vector





## Notes
The coordinates of ghost points can be set using `DMSetCoordinates()`
followed by `DMGetCoordinatesLocal()`. This is intended to enable the
setting of ghost coordinates outside of the domain.

The vector c should be destroyed by the caller.
