# DMCompositeScatter

Scatters from a global packed vector into its individual local vectors

## Synopsis

    #include "petscdmcomposite.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMCompositeScatter(DM dm, Vec gvec, ...)

Collective

## Input Parameters

- dm - the `DMCOMPOSITE` object

- gvec - the global vector

- … - the individual sequential vectors, `NULL` for those that are not needed

## Note

`DMCompositeScatterArray()` is a non-variadic alternative that is often more convenient for library callers and is accessible from Fortran.
