PetscViewerSetFormat

Sets the format for PetscViewers.

Synopsis

#include "petscsys.h" 
PetscErrorCode  PetscViewerSetFormat(PetscViewer viewer,PetscViewerFormat format)
Logically Collective on PetscViewer Many br

This routine is deprecated, you should use PetscViewerPushFormat()/PetscViewerPopFormat() Many br

Input Parameters

viewer - the PetscViewer Many br
format - the format Many br

Many br

Notes

Available formats include Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_DEFAULT - default format Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_MATLAB - MATLAB format Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_DENSE - print matrix as dense Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_IMPL - implementation-specific format Many br(which is in many cases the same as the default) Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_INFO - basic information about object Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_INFO_DETAIL - more detailed info Many brabout object Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_COMMON - identical output format for Many brall objects of a particular type Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_INDEX - (for vectors) prints the vector Many brelement number next to each vector entry Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_SYMMODU - print parallel vectors without Many brindicating the processor ranges Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_VTK - outputs the object to a VTK file Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_NATIVE - store the object to the binary Many brfile in its native format (for example, dense Many brmatrices are stored as dense), DMDA vectors are dumped directly to the Many brfile instead of being first put in the natural ordering Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_DRAW_BASIC - views the vector with a simple 1d plot Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_DRAW_LG - views the vector with a line graph Many br
PETSC_VIEWER_DRAW_CONTOUR - views the vector with a contour plot Many br

These formats are most often used for viewing matrices and vectors. Many br

If a format (for example PETSC_VIEWER_DRAW_CONTOUR) was applied to a viewer Many brwhere it didn't apply (PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_WORLD) it cause the default behavior Many brfor that viewer to be used. Many br

Note: This supports passing in a NULL for the viewer for use in the debugger, but it should never be called in the code with a NULL viewer Many br
