# 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_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

TS, monitor, line graph, residual
