# ISColoringType

determines if the coloring is for the entire parallel grid/graph/matrix or for just the local ghosted portion

### Synopsis

    typedef enum {IS_COLORING_GLOBAL,IS_COLORING_GHOSTED} ISColoringType;

      IS_COLORING_GLOBAL - does not include the colors for ghost points, this is used when the function

                           is called synchronously in parallel. This requires generating a "parallel coloring".

      IS_COLORING_GHOSTED - includes colors for ghost points, this is used when the function can be called

                            seperately on individual processes with the ghost points already filled in. Does not

                            require a "parallel coloring", rather each process colors its local + ghost part.

                            Using this can result in much less parallel communication. In the paradigm of

                            DAGetLocalVector() and DAGetGlobalVector() this could be called IS_COLORING_LOCAL
