ISCreateBlock
Creates a data structure for an index set containing a list of integers. The indices are relative to entries, not blocks. 
Synopsis
#include "petscis.h"     
PetscErrorCode  ISCreateBlock(MPI_Comm comm,PetscInt bs,PetscInt n,const PetscInt idx[],PetscCopyMode mode,IS *is)
Collective on MPI_Comm
Input Parameters
|  | comm | - the MPI communicator | 
|  | bs | - number of elements in each block | 
|  | n | - the length of the index set (the number of blocks) | 
|  | idx | - the list of integers, one for each block and count of block not indices | 
|  | mode | - see PetscCopyMode, only PETSC_COPY_VALUES and PETSC_OWN_POINTER are supported in this routine | 
Output Parameter
is  -the new index set
Notes
When the communicator is not MPI_COMM_SELF, the operations on the
index sets, IS, are NOT conceptually the same as MPI_Group operations.
The index sets are then distributed sets of indices and thus certain operations
on them are collective.
Example
If you wish to index the values {0,1,6,7}, then use
a block size of 2 and idx of {0,3}.
