    PetscErrorCode MatGetBlockSizes(Mat mat,PetscInt *rbs, PetscInt *cbs)

Not Collective

### Input Parameter

mat -the matrix

### Output Parameter

rbs -row block size
cbs -coumn block size

### Notes

Block row formats are MATSEQBAIJ, MATMPIBAIJ, MATSEQSBAIJ, MATMPISBAIJ. These formats ALWAYS have square block storage in the matrix. If you pass a different block size for the columns than the rows, the row block size determines the square block storage.

If a block size has not been set yet this routine returns 1.
