# PetscOptionsPushCreateViewerOff

sets if a `PetscOptionsCreateViewer()`, `PetscOptionsViewer(), and` PetscOptionsCreateViewers()` returns viewers.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscviewer.h"
    PetscErrorCode PetscOptionsPushCreateViewerOff(PetscBool flg)

Logically Collective

## Input Parameter

- flg - `PETSC_TRUE` to turn off viewer creation, `PETSC_FALSE` to turn it on.

## Note

Calling `XXXViewFromOptions` in an inner loop can be expensive. This can appear, for example, when using many small subsolves. Call this function to control viewer creation in `PetscOptionsCreateViewer()`, thus removing the expensive `XXXViewFromOptions` calls.

## Developer Notes

Instead of using this approach, the calls to `PetscOptionsCreateViewer()` can be moved into `XXXSetFromOptions()`
