Zakariae,
MatGetSubMatrix() was removed a long time ago, the routine is now
MatCreateSubMatrix() but it does not work in way you had hoped. There is
currently no mechanism to move values you put into the sub matrix back into the
original larger matrix (though perhaps there should be?).
Please look at MatCreateSubMatrixVirtual() and also MatCreateNest() to see
if either of those approaches satisfy your needs.
Please let us know if there are extensions that would be useful for you to
accomplish what you need.
