8 Basic graphical views of the changing state of a PISM ice model are available at the
9 command line by using options listed in :numref:`tab-diag-viewers`. All the quantities
10 listed in :ref:`sec-extra_vars` are available. Additionally, a couple of diagnostic
11 quantities are *only* available as run-time viewers; these are shown in table
12 :numref:`tab-special-diag-viewers`.

19 * - Option
20 - Description
21 * - :opt:`-view`
22 - Turns on map-plane views of one or several variables, see :ref:`sec-extra_vars`.
23 * - :opt:`-view_size` (number)
24 - desired viewer size, in pixels
25 * - :opt:`-display`
26 - The option ``-display :0`` seems to frequently be needed to let PETSc use Xwindows
27 when running multiple processes. It must be given as a *final* option, after all
28 the others.
29
30 The option ``-view`` shows map-plane views of 2D fields and surface and basal views of 3D
31 fields (see :ref:`sec-extra_vars`); for example:
32
33 .. code-block:: none
34
35 pismr -i input.nc -y 1000 -o output.nc -view thk,tempsurf
36
37 shows ice thickness and ice temperature at the surface.

44 * - Option
45 - Description
46 * - :opt:`-ssa_view_nuh`
47 - log base ten of ``nuH``, only available if the finite-difference SSA solver is
48 active.
49 * - :opt:`-ssa_nuh_viewer_size` (number)
50 - Adjust the viewer size.
51 * - :opt:`-ksp_monitor_draw`
52 - Iteration monitor for the Krylov subspace routines (KSP) in PETSc. Residual norm
53 versus iteration number.
