# KSPPIPEGCRSetTruncationType
specify how many of its stored previous directions `KSPPIPEGCR` uses during orthogonalization 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h"  
PetscErrorCode KSPPIPEGCRSetTruncationType(KSP ksp, KSPFCDTruncationType truncstrat)
```
Logically Collective on ksp


## Input Parameters

- ***ksp -*** the Krylov space context
- ***truncstrat -*** the choice of strategy


```none
  KSP_FCD_TRUNC_TYPE_STANDARD uses all (up to mmax) stored directions
  KSP_FCD_TRUNC_TYPE_NOTAY uses the last max(1,mod(i,mmax)) directions at iteration i=0,1,..
```



## Options Database Key

- ***-ksp_pipegcr_truncation_type <standard,notay> -*** which stored basis vectors to orthogonalize against
