-snes_check_jacobian_view <ascii,draw,binary,…><br>

then MatView is just called on the appropriate viewer instead of ugly variant options like snes_check_jacobian_draw etc<br>

In fact this paradigm could be used many places, for example -mat_view -mat_view_socket -mat_view_binary -mat_view_draw could be simplified to -mat_view <viewertype><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>
It would be nice if these could include a file name so that "binaryoutput" doesn't get swamped with everything. How about "-mat_view binary:filename.dat"?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

We'll write a utility routine that when given a viewer type returns the appropriate canonical form.</div></blockquote></div><br></div>
