# VecSetValuesLocal
Inserts or adds values into certain locations of a vector, using a local ordering of the nodes. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscvec.h"   
PetscErrorCode VecSetValuesLocal(Vec x, PetscInt ni, const PetscInt ix[], const PetscScalar y[], InsertMode iora)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***x -*** vector to insert in
- ***ni -*** number of elements to add
- ***ix -*** indices where to add
- ***y -*** array of values
- ***iora -*** either `INSERT_VALUES` or `ADD_VALUES`, where
`ADD_VALUES` adds values to any existing entries, and
`INSERT_VALUES` replaces existing entries with new values





## Notes
`VecSetValuesLocal()` sets x[ix[i]] = y[i], for i=0,...,ni-1.

Calls to `VecSetValues()` with the `INSERT_VALUES` and `ADD_VALUES`
options cannot be mixed without intervening calls to the assembly
routines.

These values may be cached, so `VecAssemblyBegin()` and `VecAssemblyEnd()`
MUST be called after all calls to `VecSetValuesLocal()` have been completed.

`VecSetValuesLocal()` uses 0-based indices in Fortran as well as in C.
