# MatZeroRowsColumnsIS
Zeros all entries (except possibly the main diagonal) of a set of rows and columns of a matrix. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatZeroRowsColumnsIS(Mat mat, IS is, PetscScalar diag, Vec x, Vec b)
```
Collective on mat


## Input Parameters

- ***mat -*** the matrix
- ***is -*** the rows to zero
- ***diag -*** value put in all diagonals of eliminated rows (0.0 will even eliminate diagonal entry)
- ***x -*** optional vector of solutions for zeroed rows (other entries in vector are not used)
- ***b -*** optional vector of right hand side, that will be adjusted by provided solution



## Note
See `MatZeroRowsColumns()` for details on how this routine operates.
