# PCHYPRESetDiscreteGradient
Set discrete gradient matrix for `PCHYPRE` type of ams or ads 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCHYPRESetDiscreteGradient(PC pc, Mat G)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***pc -*** the preconditioning context
- ***G -*** the discrete gradient





## Notes
G should have as many rows as the number of edges and as many columns as the number of vertices in the mesh

Each row of G has 2 nonzeros, with column indexes being the global indexes of edge's endpoints: matrix entries are +1 and -1 depending on edge orientation


## Developer Note
This automatically converts the matrix to `MATHYPRE` if it is not already of that type


## See Also
 `PCHYPRE`, `PCHYPRESetDiscreteCurl()`

## Level
intermediate
