# DMPlexMetricSetHausdorffNumber

Set the metric Hausdorff number

### Synopsis

    #include "petscdmplex.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMPlexMetricSetHausdorffNumber(DM dm, PetscReal hausd)

### Input parameters

| dm | - The DM
| hausd | - The metric Hausdorff number

### Notes

The Hausdorff number imposes the maximal distance between the piecewise linear approximation of the boundary and the reconstructed ideal boundary. Thus, a low Hausdorff parameter leads to refine the high curvature areas. By default, the Hausdorff value is set to 0.01, which is a suitable value for an object of size 1 in each direction. For smaller (resp. larger) objects, you may need to decrease (resp. increase) the Hausdorff parameter.

This is only used by Mmg and ParMmg (not Pragmatic).
