# DMPlexRebalanceSharedPoints

Redistribute points in the plex that are shared in order to achieve better balancing. This routine updates the PointSF of the DM inplace.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscdmplex.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMPlexRebalanceSharedPoints(DM dm, PetscInt entityDepth, PetscBool useInitialGuess, PetscBool parallel, PetscBool *success)

### Input parameters

+ dm - The DMPlex object. + entityDepth - depth of the entity to balance (0 -> balance vertices). + useInitialGuess - whether to use the current distribution as initial guess (only used by ParMETIS). + parallel - whether to use ParMETIS and do the partition in parallel or whether to gather the graph onto a single process and use METIS.

### Output parameters

+ success - whether the graph partitioning was successful or not. If not, try useInitialGuess=True and parallel=True.

### Level
