# VecStrideGather
Gathers a single component from a multi-component vector into another vector. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscvec.h" 
PetscErrorCode VecStrideGather(Vec v, PetscInt start, Vec s, InsertMode addv)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***v -*** the vector
- ***start -*** starting point of the subvector (defined by a stride)
- ***addv -*** one of ADD_VALUES,INSERT_VALUES,MAX_VALUES



## Output Parameter

- ***s -*** the location where the subvector is stored



## Notes
One must call VecSetBlockSize() before this routine to set the stride
information, or use a vector created from a multicomponent DMDA.

If x is the array representing the vector x then this gathers
the array (x[start],x[start+stride],x[start+2*stride], ....)

The parallel layout of the vector and the subvector must be the same;
i.e., nlocal of v = stride*(nlocal of s)

Not optimized; could be easily
