Collective

## Input Parameters

- comm - the MPI communicator

- n - the local size (or `PETSC_DECIDE`)

- N - the global size (or `PETSC_DECIDE`)

- bs - the block size (or `PETSC_DECIDE`)

## Output Parameter

- map - the new `PetscLayout`

## Note

    PetscLayoutCreateFromSizes(comm, n, N, bs, &layout);

is a shorthand for

      PetscLayoutCreate(comm, &layout);
      PetscLayoutSetLocalSize(layout, n);
      PetscLayoutSetSize(layout, N);
      PetscLayoutSetBlockSize(layout, bs);
      PetscLayoutSetUp(layout);
