# PetscSpacePolynomialGetTensor
Get whether a function space is a space of tensor polynomials (the space is spanned by polynomials whose degree in each variable is bounded by the given order), as opposed to polynomials (the space is spanned by polynomials whose total degree---summing over all variables---is bounded by the given order). 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscfe.h" 
PetscErrorCode PetscSpacePolynomialGetTensor(PetscSpace sp, PetscBool *tensor)
```

## Input Parameters

- ***sp     -*** the function space object



## Output Parameters

- ***tensor -*** `PETSC_TRUE` for a tensor polynomial space, `PETSC_FALSE` for a polynomial space
