# TSMonitorSolutionVTK

Monitors progress of the `TS` solvers by `VecView()` for the solution at each timestep.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscts.h"
    PetscErrorCode TSMonitorSolutionVTK(TS ts, PetscInt step, PetscReal ptime, Vec u, void *filenametemplate)

Collective

## Input Parameters

- ts - the `TS` context

- step - current time-step

- ptime - current time

- u - current state

- filenametemplate - string containing a format specifier for the integer time step (e.g. %03” PetscInt_FMT “)

## Notes

The VTK format does not allow writing multiple time steps in the same file, therefore a different file will be written for each time step. These are named according to the file name template.

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.
