# DMPlexCreateFromCellList

This takes as input common mesh generator output, a list of the vertices for each cell, and produces a DM

### Synopsis

    #include "petscdmplex.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMPlexCreateFromCellList(MPI_Comm comm, PetscInt dim, PetscInt numCells, PetscInt numVertices, PetscInt numCorners, PetscBool interpolate, const int cells[], PetscInt spaceDim, const double vertexCoords[], DM *dm)

### Input Parameters

| comm | - The communicator
| dim | - The topological dimension of the mesh
| numCells | - The number of cells
| numVertices | - The number of vertices
| numCorners | - The number of vertices for each cell
| interpolate | - Flag indicating that intermediate mesh entities (faces, edges) should be created automatically
| cells | - An array of numCells*numCorners numbers, the vertices for each cell
| spaceDim | - The spatial dimension used for coordinates
| vertexCoords | - An array of numVertices*spaceDim numbers, the coordinates of each vertex

### Output Parameter

dm -The DM

Note: Two triangles sharing a face

would have input

     numCells = 2, numVertices = 4

     cells = [0 1 2  1 3 2]

which would result in the DMPlex
