# DMPlexComputeCellGeometryFEM
Compute the Jacobian, inverse Jacobian, and Jacobian determinant at each quadrature point in the given cell 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdmplex.h"   
#include "petscfe.h"       
PetscErrorCode DMPlexComputeCellGeometryFEM(DM dm, PetscInt cell, PetscQuadrature quad, PetscReal *v, PetscReal *J, PetscReal *invJ, PetscReal *detJ)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm   -*** the `DMPLEX`
- ***cell -*** the cell
- ***quad -*** the quadrature containing the points in the reference element where the geometry will be evaluated.  If `quad` is `NULL`, geometry will be
evaluated at the first vertex of the reference element



## Output Parameters

- ***v    -*** the image of the transformed quadrature points, otherwise the image of the first vertex in the closure of the reference element
- ***J    -*** the Jacobian of the transform from the reference element at each quadrature point
- ***invJ -*** the inverse of the Jacobian at each quadrature point
- ***detJ -*** the Jacobian determinant at each quadrature point
