# PCSetModifySubMatrices
Sets a user-defined routine for modifying the submatrices that arise within certain subdomain-based preconditioners. The basic submatrices are extracted from the preconditioner matrix as usual; the user can then alter these (for example, to set different boundary conditions for each submatrix) before they are used for the local solves. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCSetModifySubMatrices(PC pc, PetscErrorCode (*func)(PC, PetscInt, const IS[], const IS[], Mat[], void *), void *ctx)
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context
- ***func -*** routine for modifying the submatrices
- ***ctx -*** optional user-defined context (may be null)



## Calling sequence of func
```none
func (PC pc,PetscInt nsub,IS *row,IS *col,Mat *submat,void *ctx);
```


- ***row -*** an array of index sets that contain the global row numbers
that comprise each local submatrix
- ***col -*** an array of index sets that contain the global column numbers
that comprise each local submatrix
- ***submat -*** array of local submatrices
- ***ctx -*** optional user-defined context for private data for the
user-defined func routine (may be null)



## Notes
`PCSetModifySubMatrices()` MUST be called before `KSPSetUp()` and
`KSPSolve()`.

A routine set by `PCSetModifySubMatrices()` is currently called within
the block Jacobi (`PCBJACOBI`) and additive Schwarz (`PCASM`)
preconditioners.  All other preconditioners ignore this routine.
