DMGetMatrix_DA currently looks at -da_mat_type, I would like to move the logic to DMGetMatrix, and I think, rename to -dm_mat_type. The latter change would hit a lot of users in a subtle way, since their options files will still work, but will ignore the -da_mat_type arguments. It would not be difficult to keep the old behavior around, but mark it deprecated. Opinions?
Along these lines, is the MatType argument to DMGetMatrix() the right way to handle this? I think that it should at least be valid to pass NULL instead of a string, thus having the DM pick a suitable default. Jed -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
