# MatFDColoringSetUp
Sets up the internal data structures of matrix coloring context for the later use. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatFDColoringSetUp(Mat mat, ISColoring iscoloring, MatFDColoring color)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***mat -*** the matrix containing the nonzero structure of the Jacobian
- ***iscoloring -*** the coloring of the matrix; usually obtained with `MatGetColoring()` or `DMCreateColoring()`
- ***color -*** the matrix coloring context





## Notes
When the coloring type is `IS_COLORING_LOCAL` the coloring is in the local ordering of the unknowns.
