Get the depth of the DAG representing this mesh

### Synopsis

    #include "petscdmplex.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMPlexGetDepth(DM dm, PetscInt *depth)

Not Collective

### Input Parameter

| dm | - The DMPlex object

### Output Parameter

| depth | - The number of strata (breadth first levels) in the DAG

### Notes

This returns maximum of point depths over all points, i.e. maximum value of the label returned by DMPlexGetDepthLabel(). The point depth is described more in detail in DMPlexGetDepthStratum(). An empty mesh gives -1.
