# DMGetCoordinatesLocalTuple

Gets a local vector with the coordinates of specified points and section describing its layout.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscdm.h"
    #include "petscdmlabel.h"
    #include "petscds.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMGetCoordinatesLocalTuple(DM dm, IS p, PetscSection *pCoordSection, Vec *pCoord)

Not collective

### Input Parameter

| dm | - the DM
| p | - the IS of points whose coordinates will be returned

### Output Parameter

| pCoordSection | - the PetscSection describing the layout of pCoord, i.e. each point corresponds to one point in p, and DOFs correspond to coordinates
| pCoord | - the Vec with coordinates of points in p

### Note

DMGetCoordinatesLocalSetUp() must be called first. This function employs DMGetCoordinatesLocalNoncollective() so it is not collective.

This creates a new vector, so the user SHOULD destroy this vector

Each process has the local and ghost coordinates

For DMDA, in two and three dimensions coordinates are interlaced (x_0,y_0,x_1,y_1,...) and (x_0,y_0,z_0,x_1,y_1,z_1...)
