# MatCreateSeqDense

Creates a sequential dense matrix that is stored in column major order (the usual Fortran 77 manner). Many of the matrix operations use the BLAS and LAPACK routines.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode  MatCreateSeqDense(MPI_Comm comm,PetscInt m,PetscInt n,PetscScalar *data,Mat *A)

Collective on MPI_Comm

### Input Parameters

| comm | - MPI communicator, set to PETSC_COMM_SELF
| m | - number of rows
| n | - number of columns
| data | - optional location of matrix data in column major order. Set data=NULL for PETSc to control all matrix memory allocation.

### Output Parameter

A -the matrix

### Notes

The data input variable is intended primarily for Fortran programmers who wish to allocate their own matrix memory space. Most users should set data=NULL.

### Keywords
