# DMGetCoordinates

Gets a global vector with the coordinates associated with the DM.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscdm.h"
    #include "petscdmlabel.h"
    #include "petscds.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMGetCoordinates(DM dm, Vec *c)

Collective on dm

### Input Parameter

| dm | - the DM

### Output Parameter

| c | - global coordinate vector

### Note

This is a borrowed reference, so the user should NOT destroy this vector. When the DM is destroyed the array will no longer be valid.

Each process has only the locally-owned portion of the global coordinates (does NOT have the 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...)
