red : positive value
bule: negative value
cyan: zero value [thats entered with matsetvalues]

left mouse: zoom-in
middle mouse: zoom-out
right-mouse: continue the program

So if you click the right-mouse - then the program continues - and
what you see next is the 'next' matrix thats assembled in your
program. It could be a factor matrix or something thats created in the
preconditioner. This depends on the path your code takes.
