# MatSetValuesBlockedLocal
Inserts or adds values into certain locations of a matrix, using a local ordering of the nodes a block at a time. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatSetValuesBlockedLocal(Mat mat, PetscInt nrow, const PetscInt irow[], PetscInt ncol, const PetscInt icol[], const PetscScalar y[], InsertMode addv)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***x -*** the matrix
- ***nrow -*** number of rows
- ***irow -*** the row local indices
- ***ncol -*** number of columns
- ***icol -*** the column local indices
- ***y -*** a logically two-dimensional array of values
- ***addv -*** either `ADD_VALUES` to add values to any existing entries, or `INSERT_VALUES` to replace existing entries with new values





## Notes
If you create the matrix yourself (that is not with a call to `DMCreateMatrix()`) then you MUST call MatXXXXSetPreallocation() or
`MatSetUp()` before using this routine

If you create the matrix yourself (that is not with a call to `DMCreateMatrix()`) then you MUST call `MatSetBlockSize()` and `MatSetLocalToGlobalMapping()`
before using this routineBefore calling `MatSetValuesLocal()`, the user must first set the

Calls to `MatSetValuesBlockedLocal()` with the `INSERT_VALUES` and `ADD_VALUES`
options cannot be mixed without intervening calls to the assembly
routines.

These values may be cached, so `MatAssemblyBegin()` and `MatAssemblyEnd()`
MUST be called after all calls to `MatSetValuesBlockedLocal()` have been completed.


## Developer Note
This is labeled with C so does not automatically generate Fortran stubs and interfaces
because it requires multiple Fortran interfaces depending on which arguments are scalar or arrays.
