I apologize for taking so long. I got caught up in the SIAM Meeting. I have
pushed

   PetscErrorCode DMPlexGetPointGlobalField(DM dm, PetscInt point, PetscInt
field, PetscInt *start, PetscInt *end)

to next. This corresponds with the public interface naming scheme Jed
started.

Thanks Matt.

I'm not sure if I understand how to use this correctly, because so far I have just got segfaults.

To test it out I tried using the C version in a copy of src/dm/impls/plex/examples/tutorials/ex1.c. After the call to DMSetDefaultSection(dm, section), I inserted the lines:

ierr = DMPlexGetPointGlobalField(dm, 0, 1, &istart, &iend); CHKERRQ(ierr);
  printf("start: %d end: %d", istart, iend);

I figured this would give me the start and end locations of the field 1 ("v") at point 0 (the first cell?), which should be ok because v is defined on cells. So for dim = 2 I'd expect istart = 0 and iend = 2- is that right?

Instead I get:
