# MatZeroRowsIS
Zeros all entries (except possibly the main diagonal) of a set of rows of a matrix. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatZeroRowsIS(Mat mat, IS is, PetscScalar diag, Vec x, Vec b)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***mat -*** the matrix
- ***is -*** index set of rows to remove (if `NULL` then no row is removed)
- ***diag -*** value put in all diagonals of eliminated rows
- ***x -*** optional vector of solutions for zeroed rows (other entries in vector are not used)
- ***b -*** optional vector of right hand side, that will be adjusted by provided solution





## Note
See `MatZeroRows()` for details on how this routine operates.
