MatSetFromOptions

 Creates a matrix where the type is determined from the options database. Generates a parallel MPI matrix if the communicator has more than one processor. The default matrix type is AIJ, using the routines MatCreateSeqAIJ() and MatCreateAIJ() if you do not select a type in the options database.
