# DMDASetPreallocationCenterDimension

Determine the topology used to determine adjacency

## Synopsis

    #include "petscdmda.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMDASetPreallocationCenterDimension(DM dm, PetscInt preallocCenterDim)

## Input Parameters

- dm - The `DMDA` object

- preallocCenterDim - The dimension of points which connect adjacent entries

## Notes

         FEM:   Two points p and q are adjacent if q \in closure(star(p)), preallocCenterDim = dim
         FVM:   Two points p and q are adjacent if q \in star(cone(p)),    preallocCenterDim = dim-1
         FVM++: Two points p and q are adjacent if q \in star(closure(p)), preallocCenterDim = 0
