[petsc-users] Save matrix view to postscript?

[Ronald M. Caplan]

Thanks!

I can't seem to get it to work though.
When I configure --with-afterimage it says that I need to download it.
When I use --download-afterimage it says:
"External package afterimage does not support --download-afterimage"

I am using a MAC with OS X.   Where can I download afterimage?

Also, in general, if I want to add a configure to petsc with ./configure,
do I have to run ./configure with ALL my options, or just with the new ones
I want to add/change?  Will it save my previous configure?

 Thanks again for your rapid responses!
