# PetscSectionGetFieldPointOffset
Return the offset on the given point for the dof associated with the given point. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscsection.h"   
PetscErrorCode PetscSectionGetFieldPointOffset(PetscSection s, PetscInt point, PetscInt field, PetscInt *offset)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***s -*** the `PetscSection`
- ***point -*** the point
- ***field -*** the field



## Output Parameter

- ***offset -*** the offset





## Note
This gives the offset on a point of the field, ignoring constraints, meaning starting at the first dof for
this point, what number is the first dof with this field.
