# MatCreateMPIAIJWithSeqAIJ
creates a `MATMPIAIJ` matrix using `MATSEQAIJ` matrices that contain the "diagonal" and "off-diagonal" part of the matrix in CSR format. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatCreateMPIAIJWithSeqAIJ(MPI_Comm comm, Mat A, Mat B, const PetscInt garray[], Mat *mat)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***comm -*** MPI communicator
- ***A -*** "diagonal" portion of matrix
- ***B -*** "off-diagonal" portion of matrix, may have empty columns, will be destroyed by this routine
- ***garray -*** global index of `B` columns



## Output Parameter

- ***mat -*** the matrix, with input `A` as its local diagonal matrix





## Notes
See `MatCreateAIJ()` for the definition of "diagonal" and "off-diagonal" portion of the matrix.

`A` becomes part of output mat, `B` is destroyed by this routine. The user cannot use `A` and `B` anymore.
