# DMPlexCreateWedgeBoxMesh

Creates a 3-D mesh tesselating the (x,y) plane and extruding in the third direction using wedge cells.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscdmplex.h"
    #include "petscdmplex.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMPlexCreateWedgeBoxMesh(MPI_Comm comm, const PetscInt faces[], const PetscReal lower[], const PetscReal upper[], const DMBoundaryType periodicity[], PetscBool ordExt, PetscBool interpolate, DM *dm)

Collective

### Input Parameters

| comm | - The communicator for the DM object
| faces | - Number of faces per dimension, or NULL for (1, 1, 1)
| lower | - The lower left corner, or NULL for (0, 0, 0)
| upper | - The upper right corner, or NULL for (1, 1, 1)
| periodicity | - The boundary type for the X,Y,Z direction, or NULL for DM_BOUNDARY_NONE
| ordExt | - If PETSC_TRUE, orders the extruded cells in the height first. Otherwise, orders the cell on the layers first
| interpolate | - Flag to create intermediate mesh pieces (edges, faces)

### Output Parameter

dm -The DM object
