VecRestoreArray

 Restores a vector after VecGetArray() has been called.

Synopsis

#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode VecRestoreArray(Vec x,PetscScalar **a)
Logically Collective on Vec

Input Parameters

x - the vector
a - location of pointer to array obtained from VecGetArray()

Notes

For regular PETSc vectors this routine does not involve any copies. For any special vectors that do not store local vector data in a contiguous array, this routine will copy the data back into the underlying vector data structure from the array obtained with VecGetArray().

This routine actually zeros out the a pointer. This is to prevent accidental us of the array after it has been restored. If you pass null for a it will not zero the array pointer a.

Fortran Note

This routine is used differently from Fortran 77 
   Vec         x

   PetscScalar x_array(1)

   PetscOffset i_x

   PetscErrorCode ierr

      call VecGetArray(x,x_array,i_x,ierr)



  Access first local entry in vector with



     value = x_array(i_x + 1)





     ...... other code



      call VecRestoreArray(x,x_array,i_x,ierr)
