# PetscSectionRestorePointSyms
Restore the symmetries returned by `PetscSectionGetPointSyms()` 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsection.h"   
PetscErrorCode PetscSectionRestorePointSyms(PetscSection section, PetscInt numPoints, const PetscInt *points, const PetscInt ***perms, const PetscScalar ***rots)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***section -*** the section
- ***numPoints -*** the number of points
- ***points -*** an array of size 2 * `numPoints`, containing a list of (point, orientation) pairs. (An orientation is an
arbitrary integer: its interpretation is up to sym.  Orientations are used by `DM`: for their interpretation in that
context, see `DMPlexGetConeOrientation()`).


- ***perms -*** The permutations for the given orientations: set to `NULL` at conclusion


- ***rots -*** The field rotations symmetries for the given orientations: set to `NULL` at conclusion
