Thanks Barry for quick reply. After I type ./ex5 -help | grep view, it comes 
out a list of options related to _view, all of which have the tag <FALSE>, what 
does this mean?

  Run as./ex5 -help | grep view to see the possibilities.  It depends on PETSc 
version number. When using the graphics want you generally want a -draw_pause 
-1 to stop that program at the graphic otherwise it pops up and disappears 
immediately.
