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_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_NATIVE | - store the object to the binary Many brfile in its native format (for example, dense Many brmatrices are stored as dense), for DMDA vectors displays vectors in DMDA ordering, not natural 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 brCurrently, the object name is used only in the MATLAB format. Many br
