    PetscErrorCode SectionIntView(SectionInt section, PetscViewer viewer)

You can change the format the section is printed using the option PetscViewerSetFormat().

The user can open alternative visualization contexts with

| PetscViewerASCIIOpen() | - Outputs section to a specified file
| PetscViewerBinaryOpen() | - Outputs section in binary to a specified file; corresponding input uses SectionLoad()
| PetscViewerDrawOpen() | - Outputs section to an X window display

The user can call PetscViewerSetFormat() to specify the output format of ASCII printed objects (when using PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_SELF, PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_WORLD and PetscViewerASCIIOpen). Available formats include

| PETSC_VIEWER_DEFAULT | - default, prints section information
| PETSC_VIEWER_ASCII_VTK | - outputs a VTK file describing the section
