# TSMonitorDrawSolution
Monitors progress of the TS solvers by calling VecView() for the solution at each timestep 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSMonitorDrawSolution(TS ts, PetscInt step, PetscReal ptime, Vec u, void *dummy)
```
Collective on TS


## Input Parameters

- ***ts -*** the TS context
- ***step -*** current time-step
- ***ptime -*** current time
- ***dummy -*** either a viewer or NULL



## Options Database

- ***-ts_monitor_draw_solution_initial -*** show initial solution as well as current solution



## Notes
The initial solution and current solution are not displayed with a common axis scaling so generally the option -ts_monitor_draw_solution_initial
will look bad

This is not called directly by users, rather one calls `TSMonitorSet()`, with this function as an argument, to cause the monitor
to be used during the TS integration.
