/*@C
   CharacteristicSetType - Builds Characteristic for a particular solver.

   Logically Collective on Characteristic

   Input Parameters:

-  type - a known method

   Options Database Key:
.  -characteristic_type <method> - Sets the method; use -help for a list
    of available methods

   Notes:
   See "include/petsccharacteristic.h" for available methods

  Normally, it is best to use the CharacteristicSetFromOptions() command and
  then set the Characteristic type from the options database rather than by using
  this routine.  Using the options database provides the user with
  maximum flexibility in evaluating the many different Krylov methods.
  The CharacteristicSetType() routine is provided for those situations where it
  is necessary to set the iterative solver independently of the command
  line or options database.  This might be the case, for example, when
  the choice of iterative solver changes during the execution of the
  program, and the user's application is taking responsibility for
  choosing the appropriate method.  In other words, this routine is
  not for beginners.
