# VecStrideScale

Scales a subvector of a vector defined by a starting point and a stride.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscvec.h"
    PetscErrorCode  VecStrideScale(Vec v,PetscInt start,PetscScalar scale)

Logically Collective on Vec

### Input Parameters

| v | - the vector
| start | - starting point of the subvector (defined by a stride)
| scale | - value to multiply each subvector entry by

### Notes

One must call VecSetBlockSize() before this routine to set the stride information, or use a vector created from a multicomponent DMDA.

This will only work if the desire subvector is a stride subvector
