PetscViewerDrawOpen

Opens a PetscDraw window for use as a PetscViewer with type PETSCVIEWERDRAW.

Synopsis

#include "petscdraw.h" 
#include "petscviewer.h" 
PetscErrorCode PetscViewerDrawOpen(MPI_Comm comm, const char display[], const char title[], int x, int y, int w, int h, PetscViewer *viewer)

Collective

Input Parameters

• comm - communicator that will share window

• display - the X display on which to open, or NULL for the local machine

• title - the title to put in the title bar, or NULL for no title

• x - horizontal screen coordinate of the upper left corner of window, or use PETSC_DECIDE

• y - vertical screen coordinate of the upper left corner of window, or use PETSC_DECIDE

• w - window width in pixels, or may use PETSC_DECIDE or PETSC_DRAW_FULL_SIZE, PETSC_DRAW_HALF_SIZE,PETSC_DRAW_THIRD_SIZE, PETSC_DRAW_QUARTER_SIZE

• h - window height in pixels, or may use PETSC_DECIDE or PETSC_DRAW_FULL_SIZE, PETSC_DRAW_HALF_SIZE,PETSC_DRAW_THIRD_SIZE, PETSC_DRAW_QUARTER_SIZE

Output Parameter

• viewer - the PetscViewer

Options Database Keys

• -draw_type - use x or null

• -nox - Disables all x-windows output

• -display - Specifies name of machine for the X display

• -geometry <x,y,w,h> - allows setting the window location and size

• -draw_pause - Sets time (in seconds) that the program pauses after PetscDrawPause() has been called (0 is default, -1 implies until user input).

Notes

If you want to do graphics in this window, you must call PetscViewerDrawGetDraw() and perform the graphics on the PetscDraw object.

Format options include:

• PETSC_VIEWER_DRAW_BASIC - displays with basic format

• PETSC_VIEWER_DRAW_LG - displays using a line graph

Fortran Notes

Whenever indicating null character data in a Fortran code, PETSC_NULL_CHARACTER must be employed; using NULL is not correct for character data! Thus, PETSC_NULL_CHARACTER can be used for the display and title input parameters.
