TSMonitorLGCtxCreate

Creates a TSMonitorLGCtx context for use with TS to monitor the solution process graphically in various ways

Synopsis

#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode  TSMonitorLGCtxCreate(MPI_Comm comm,const char host[],const char label[],int x,int y,int m,int n,PetscInt howoften,TSMonitorLGCtx *ctx)
Collective on TS

Input Parameters

host - the X display to open, or null for the local machine
label - the title to put in the title bar
x, y - the screen coordinates of the upper left coordinate of the window
m, n - the screen width and height in pixels
howoften - if positive then determines the frequency of the plotting, if -1 then only at the final time

Output Parameter

ctx -the context

Options Database Key

-ts_monitor_lg_timestep - automatically sets line graph monitor + -ts_monitor_lg_timestep_log - automatically sets line graph monitor
-ts_monitor_lg_solution - monitor the solution (or certain values of the solution by calling TSMonitorLGSetDisplayVariables() or TSMonitorLGCtxSetDisplayVariables())
-ts_monitor_lg_error - monitor the error
-ts_monitor_lg_ksp_iterations - monitor the number of KSP iterations needed for each timestep
-ts_monitor_lg_snes_iterations - monitor the number of SNES iterations needed for each timestep
-lg_use_markers <true,false> - mark the data points (at each time step) on the plot; default is true

Notes

Use TSMonitorLGCtxDestroy() to destroy.

One can provide a function that transforms the solution before plotting it with TSMonitorLGCtxSetTransform() or TSMonitorLGSetTransform()

Many of the functions that control the monitoring have two forms: TSMonitorLGSet/GetXXXX() and TSMonitorLGCtxSet/GetXXXX() the first take a TS object as the first argument (if that TS object does not have a TSMonitorLGCtx associated with it the function call is ignored) and the second takes a TSMonitorLGCtx object as the first argument.

One can control the names displayed for each solution or error variable with TSMonitorLGCtxSetVariableNames() or TSMonitorLGSetVariableNames()

Keywords
