# DMSNESSetJacobian

set SNES Jacobian evaluation function

### Synopsis

    #include "petscsnes.h"
    #include "petscdm.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMSNESSetJacobian(DM dm,PetscErrorCode (*SNESJacobianFunction)(SNES,Vec,Mat*,Mat*,MatStructure*,void*),void *ctx)

Not Collective

### Input Argument

| dm | - DM to be used with SNES
| SNESJacobianFunction | - Jacobian evaluation function
| ctx | - context for residual evaluation

### Note

SNESSetJacobian() is normally used, but it calls this function internally because the user context is actually associated with the DM. This makes the interface consistent regardless of whether the user interacts with a DM or not. If DM took a more central role at some later date, this could become the primary method of setting the Jacobian.
