Yes but it is slightly complicated. You need to configure PETSc with —with-afterimage and run the program with -draw_save then it will save each image.
It will open an X window to display each image. You can run with -x_virtual to skip the opening of X windows but then you need Xvfb to be installed Barry On Mar 15, 2014, at 6:29 PM, Mani Chandra <[email protected]> wrote: > -snes_montior_residual is really cool.
