Scrollable Matrices

 

Description

Controlling the View of the Matrix

Notes

Setting the Maximum Dimension for Inline Display of Arrays, Matrices, and Vectors

Description

When you have a large matrix (or any rtable) output in your document, only a portion is visible.  You can now browse through the entries directly in the document.  When you hover over the output, scroll bars are visible.  Use the scroll bars to change your view.

 

Controlling the View of the Matrix

The size of matrix displayed inline is determined by the interface(rtablesize) setting.  By default, it is 10 x 10.  This setting also determines how much is shown of the scrollable large matrix.

You can also interactively change the view by resizing the inline matrix viewer.

The context menu for the matrix has some controls related to the view of the matrix.

• 

To remove the row and column headers, right-click (Control-click, on Mac) on the matrix and clear the check boxes for Row Header and Column Header.

• 

You can interactive resize a single row or column using resize arrows.

• 

To fit the data better, you can also right-click (Control-click, on Mac) on the matrix and select Fit Column to Data or Fit Row to Data.

• 

To return to the initial matrix view, right-click (Control-click, on Mac) on the matrix and select Reset Output Display.

• 

To disable the scrollable functionality, right-click (Control-click, on Mac) and Freeze Scrollable Output from the context menu. This also freezes the Matrix in its current size and position.

Notes

• 

As in previous releases, you can double-click on the matrix to open the Matrix browser.

• 

If a worksheet that contains a large matrix is saved and reopened, the data is saved and is scrollable as long as the matrix has 5000 or fewer entries.  With larger matrices, you will need to re-execute or re-import the matrix before scrolling.  (This limit can be changed in the Options Dialog.)

• 

Matrix outputs are not scrollable in the help system.  (However, you can always open a help page as a worksheet and re-execute to interact with them.)

Setting the Maximum Dimension for Inline Display of Arrays, Matrices, and Vectors

  

By default, rtables (such as Arrays, Matrices, and Vectors) that have dimensions of 10 or less are displayed inline.  To change this setting, use the interface command to set the rtablesize variable. For example, interface(rtablesize=15) changes the maximum dimension displayed inline to 15.  See interface for more information.

  

Note: In the Command-Line version, the default is 25.
