# PetscSectionSymLabelSetStratum
set the symmetries for the orientations of a stratum
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdmlabel.h"
#include "petscsection.h"
PetscErrorCode PetscSectionSymLabelSetStratum(PetscSectionSym sym, PetscInt stratum, PetscInt size, PetscInt minOrient, PetscInt maxOrient, PetscCopyMode mode, const PetscInt **perms, const PetscScalar **rots)
```
Logically collective on sym
## InputParameters
- ***sym -*** the section symmetries
- ***stratum -*** the stratum value in the label that we are assigning symmetries for
- ***size -*** the number of dofs for points in the stratum of the label
- ***minOrient -*** the smallest orientation for a point in this stratum
- ***maxOrient -*** one greater than the largest orientation for a ppoint in this stratum (i.e., orientations are in the range [minOrient, maxOrient))
- ***mode -*** how sym should copy the perms and rots arrays
- ***perms -*** NULL if there are no permutations, or (maxOrient - minOrient) permutations, one for each orientation. A NULL permutation is the identity
- ***rots -*** NULL if there are no rotations, or (maxOrient - minOrient) sets of rotations, one for each orientation. A NULL set of orientations is the identity
