## Input Parameters

- ***A -*** the coarsen context
- ***obj -*** Optional object that provides the prefix for the option name
- ***name -*** command line option (usually `-mat_coarsen_view`)



## Options Database

- ***-mat_coarsen_view [viewertype]:... -*** the viewer and its options

    If no value is provided ascii:stdout is used
       ascii[:[filename][:[format][:append]]]    defaults to stdout - format can be one of ascii_info, ascii_info_detail, or ascii_matlab,
                                                  for example ascii::ascii_info prints just the information about the object not all details

       binary[:[filename][:[format][:append]]]   defaults to the file binaryoutput
       draw[:drawtype[:filename]]                for example, draw:tikz, draw:tikz:figure.tex  or draw:x
