PETScVector

class dolfin.cpp.la.PETScVector(*args)

Bases: dolfin.cpp.la.GenericVector, dolfin.cpp.la.PETScObject

This class provides a simple vector class based on PETSc. It is a simple wrapper for a PETSc vector pointer (Vec) implementing the GenericVector interface.

The interface is intentionally simple. For advanced usage, access the PETSc Vec pointer using the function vec() and use the standard PETSc interface.
