# DMPlexCreateFromDAG

This takes as input the adjacency-list representation of the Directed Acyclic Graph (Hasse Diagram) encoding a mesh, and produces a DM

### Synopsis

    #include "petscdmplex.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMPlexCreateFromDAG(DM dm, PetscInt depth, const PetscInt numPoints[], const PetscInt coneSize[], const PetscInt cones[], const PetscInt coneOrientations[], const PetscScalar vertexCoords[])

### Input Parameters

| dm | - The empty DM object, usually from DMCreate() and DMSetDimension()
| depth | - The depth of the DAG
| numPoints | - The number of points at each depth
| coneSize | - The cone size of each point
| cones | - The concatenation of the cone points for each point, the cone list must be oriented correctly for each point
| coneOrientations | - The orientation of each cone point
| vertexCoords | - An array of numVertices*dim numbers, the coordinates of each vertex

### Output Parameter

dm -The DM

Note: Two triangles sharing a face would have input

     depth = 1, numPoints = [4 2], coneSize = [3 3 0 0 0 0]

     cones = [2 3 4  3 5 4], coneOrientations = [0 0 0  0 0 0]

    vertexCoords = [-1.0 0.0  0.0 -1.0  0.0 1.0  1.0 0.0]

which would result in the DMPlex

    Notice that all points are numbered consecutively, unlikely DMPlexCreateFromCellList()
