# DMNetworkGetLocalVecOffset
Get the offset for accessing the variables associated with a component at the given vertex/edge from the local vector 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdmnetwork.h"  
PetscErrorCode DMNetworkGetLocalVecOffset(DM dm, PetscInt p, PetscInt compnum, PetscInt *offset)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** the `DMNETWORK` object
- ***p -*** the edge or vertex point
- ***compnum -*** component number; use ALL_COMPONENTS if no specific component is requested



## Output Parameter

- ***offset -*** the local offset





## Notes
These offsets can be passed to `MatSetValuesLocal()` for matrices obtained with `DMCreateMatrix()`.

For vectors obtained with `DMCreateLocalVector()` the offsets can be used with `VecSetValues()`.

For vectors obtained with `DMCreateLocalVector()` and the array obtained with `VecGetArray`(vec,&array) you can access or set
the vector values with array[offset].

For vectors obtained with `DMCreateGlobalVector()` the offsets can be used with `VecSetValuesLocal()`.
