# MatMFFDSetFunction

Sets the function used in applying the matrix free.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode  MatMFFDSetFunction(Mat mat,PetscErrorCode (*func)(void*,Vec,Vec),void *funcctx)

Logically Collective on Mat

### Input Parameters

| mat | - the matrix free matrix created via MatCreateSNESMF() or MatCreateMFFD()
| func | - the function to use
| funcctx | - optional function context passed to function

### Calling Sequence of func

        func (void *funcctx, Vec x, Vec f)

| funcctx | - user provided context
| x | - input vector
| f | - computed output function

### Notes

If you use this you MUST call MatAssemblyBegin()/MatAssemblyEnd() on the matrix free matrix inside your compute Jacobian routine

If this is not set then it will use the function set with SNESSetFunction() if MatCreateSNESMF() was used.

### Keywords

SNES, matrix-free, function
