# ISLocalToGlobalMapping
mappings from an arbitrary local ordering from 0 to n-1 to a global PETSc ordering used by a vector or matrix. 
## Synopsis
```
typedef struct _p_ISLocalToGlobalMapping *ISLocalToGlobalMapping;
```



## Notes
Mapping from local to global is scalable; but global
to local may not be if the range of global values represented locally
is very large.

`ISLocalToGlobalMapping` is actually a private object; it is included
here for the inline function `ISLocalToGlobalMappingApply()` to allow it to be inlined since
it is used so often.
