# TSSetSaveTrajectory
Causes the `TS` to save its solutions as it iterates forward in time in a `TSTrajectory` object 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscts.h"  
PetscErrorCode TSSetSaveTrajectory(TS ts)
```
Collective on ts


## Input Parameter

- ***ts -*** the `TS` context obtained from `TSCreate()`



## Options Database Keys

- ***-ts_save_trajectory -*** saves the trajectory to a file
- ***-ts_trajectory_type type -*** set trajectory type





## Notes
This routine should be called after all `TS` options have been set

The `TSTRAJECTORYVISUALIZATION` files can be loaded into Python with $PETSC_DIR/lib/petsc/bin/PetscBinaryIOTrajectory.py and
MATLAB with $PETSC_DIR/share/petsc/matlab/PetscReadBinaryTrajectory.m
