# DMStagSetUniformCoordinatesExplicit
set DMStag coordinates to be a uniform grid, storing all values 
## Synopsis
```
PetscErrorCode DMStagSetUniformCoordinatesExplicit(DM dm, PetscReal xmin, PetscReal xmax, PetscReal ymin, PetscReal ymax, PetscReal zmin, PetscReal zmax)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** the DMStag object
- ***xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax -*** maximum and minimum global coordinate values



## Notes
DMStag supports 2 different types of coordinate DM: either another DMStag, or a DMProduct.
If the grid is orthogonal, using DMProduct should be more efficient.

Arguments corresponding to higher dimensions are ignored for 1D and 2D grids.

See the manual page for `DMStagSetUniformCoordinates()` for information on how
coordinates for dummy cells outside the physical domain boundary are populated.
