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.

Synopsis

#include "petscmat.h"  
PetscErrorCode  MatSetFromOptions(Mat B)
Collective on Mat

Input Parameter

A -the matrix

Options Database Keys

-mat_type seqaij - AIJ type, uses MatCreateSeqAIJ()
-mat_type mpiaij - AIJ type, uses MatCreateAIJ()
-mat_type seqdense - dense type, uses MatCreateSeqDense()
-mat_type mpidense - dense type, uses MatCreateDense()
-mat_type seqbaij - block AIJ type, uses MatCreateSeqBAIJ()
-mat_type mpibaij - block AIJ type, uses MatCreateBAIJ()

Even More Options Database Keys

See the manpages for particular formats (e.g., MatCreateSeqAIJ()) for additional format-specific options.
