# PetscDTGaussLobattoLegendreQuadrature
creates a set of the locations and weights of the Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre nodes of a given size on the domain [-1,1]
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdt.h"
PetscErrorCode PetscDTGaussLobattoLegendreQuadrature(PetscInt npoints, PetscGaussLobattoLegendreCreateType type, PetscReal *x, PetscReal *w)
```
Not Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***n -*** number of grid nodes
- ***type -*** `PETSCGAUSSLOBATTOLEGENDRE_VIA_LINEAR_ALGEBRA` or `PETSCGAUSSLOBATTOLEGENDRE_VIA_NEWTON`
## Output Parameters
- ***x -*** quadrature points
- ***w -*** quadrature weights
## Notes
For n > 30 the Newton approach computes duplicate (incorrect) values for some nodes because the initial guess is apparently not
close enough to the desired solution
These are useful for implementing spectral methods based on Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) nodes
