# TSMonitorLGError
Monitors progress of the `TS` solvers by plotting each component of the error in a time based line graph 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSMonitorLGError(TS ts, PetscInt step, PetscReal ptime, Vec u, void *dummy)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***ts -*** the `TS` context
- ***step -*** current time-step
- ***ptime -*** current time
- ***u -*** current solution
- ***dctx -*** `TSMonitorLGCtx` object created with `TSMonitorLGCtxCreate()`



## Options Database Key

- ***-ts_monitor_lg_error -*** create a graphical monitor of error history





## Notes
Each process in a parallel run displays its component errors in a separate window

The user must provide the solution using `TSSetSolutionFunction()` to use this monitor.

This is not called directly by users, rather one calls `TSMonitorSet()`, with this function as an argument, to cause the monitor
to be used during the TS integration.
