# MatDensePlaceArray

Allows one to replace the array in a dense matrix with an array provided by the user. This is useful to avoid copying an array into a matrix

### Synopsis

    PetscErrorCode  MatDensePlaceArray(Mat mat,const PetscScalar *array)

Not Collective

### Input Parameters

| mat | - the matrix
| array | - the array in column major order

### Notes
