PetscViewerHDF5SetBaseDimension2

Vectors of 1 dimension (i.e. bs/dof is 1) will be saved in the HDF5 file with a dimension of 2.

Synopsis

#include "petscviewerhdf5.h" 
PetscErrorCode PetscViewerHDF5SetBaseDimension2(PetscViewer viewer, PetscBool flg)

Logically Collective

Input Parameters

• viewer - the PetscViewer; if it is a PETSCVIEWERHDF5 then this command is ignored

• flg - if PETSC_TRUE the vector will always have at least a dimension of 2 even if that first dimension is of size 1

Options Database Key

• -viewer_hdf5_base_dimension2 - turns on (true) or off (false) using a dimension of 2 in the HDF5 file even if the bs/dof of the vector is 1

Note

Setting this option allegedly makes code that reads the HDF5 in easier since they do not have a “special case” of a bs/dof of one when the dimension is lower. Others think the option is crazy.
