### Synopsis

    #include "petscmat.h"
    PetscErrorCode  MatSetUp(Mat A)

### Input Parameters

A -the Mat context

### Notes

If the user has not set preallocation for this matrix then a default preallocation that is likely to be inefficient is used.

If a suitable preallocation routine is used, this function does not need to be called.

See the Performance chapter of the PETSc users manual for how to preallocate matrices
