# MatPermute

Creates a new matrix with rows and columns permuted from the original.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode MatPermute(Mat mat, IS row, IS col, Mat *B)

Collective

## Input Parameters

- mat - the matrix to permute

- row - row permutation, each processor supplies only the permutation for its rows

- col - column permutation, each processor supplies only the permutation for its columns

## Output Parameter

- B - the permuted matrix

## Note

The index sets map from row/col of permuted matrix to row/col of original matrix. The index sets should be on the same communicator as mat and have the same local sizes.

## Developer Note

If you want to implement `MatPermute()` for a matrix type, and your approach doesn’t exploit the fact that row and col are permutations, consider implementing the more general `MatCreateSubMatrix()` instead.
