VecCreate#

Creates an empty vector object. The type can then be set with VecSetType(), or VecSetFromOptions().

Synopsis#

#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode VecCreate(MPI_Comm comm, Vec *vec)

Collective

Input Parameter#

  • comm - The communicator for the vector object

Output Parameter#

  • vec - The vector object

Notes#

If you never call VecSetType() or VecSetFromOptions() it will generate an error when you try to use the vector.
