# VecRegister

Adds a new vector component implementation

### Synopsis

    #include "petscvec.h"
    PetscErrorCode  VecRegister(const char sname[], PetscErrorCode (*function)(Vec))

Not Collective

### Input Parameters

| name | - The name of a new user-defined creation routine
| create_func | - The creation routine itself

### Notes

VecRegister() may be called multiple times to add several user-defined vectors

### Sample usage

        VecRegister("my_vec",MyVectorCreate);

Then, your vector type can be chosen with the procedural interface via

        VecCreate(MPI_Comm, Vec *);
        VecSetType(Vec,"my_vector_name");

or at runtime via the option

        -vec_type my_vector_name
