VecGetArray1d#

Returns a pointer to a 1d contiguous array that contains this processor’s portion of the vector data. You MUST call VecRestoreArray1d() when you no longer need access to the array.

Synopsis#

#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode VecGetArray1d(Vec x, PetscInt m, PetscInt mstart, PetscScalar *a[])

Logically Collective

Input Parameters#

  • x - the vector

  • m - first dimension of two dimensional array

  • mstart - first index you will use in first coordinate direction (often 0)

Output Parameter#

  • a - location to put pointer to the array

Notes#

For a vector obtained from DMCreateLocalVector() mstart is likely obtained from the corner indices obtained from DMDAGetGhostCorners() while for DMCreateGlobalVector() they are the corner indices from DMDAGetCorners().

For standard PETSc vectors this is an inexpensive call; it does not copy the vector values.
