# MatMPIAIJGetLocalMatMerge
Creates a `MATSEQAIJ` from a `MATMPIAIJ` matrix by taking all its local rows and putting them into a sequential matrix with mlocal rows and n columns. Where n is the sum of the number of columns of the diagonal and offdiagonal part 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatMPIAIJGetLocalMatMerge(Mat A, MatReuse scall, IS *glob, Mat *A_loc)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***A -*** the matrix
- ***scall -*** either `MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX` or `MAT_REUSE_MATRIX`



## Output Parameters

- ***glob -*** sequential `IS` with global indices associated with the columns of the local sequential matrix generated (can be `NULL`)
- ***A_loc -*** the local sequential matrix generated





## Note
This is different from `MatMPIAIJGetLocalMat()` since the first columns in the returning matrix are those associated with the diagonal
part, then those associated with the off diagonal part (in its local ordering)
