Visualization Tools User's Guide
To evaluate an expression:
- Type the expression in the workspace pane.
- Press control+E. (Or, select Evaluate from the popup
menu).
The value and the expression appear in the table pane.
Note: Unlike ordinary workspaces, it is not necessary to select the
expression to be evaluated; control+E evaluates the entire workspace
contents by default.
Variations:
- The Evaluate Selection command (control+alt+E) evaluates only
the selected area of the workspace pane.
- The Eval & Snoop (control+Q) command evaluates the whole
pane, and opens a Snooper on the value.
- The Eval & Snoop Selection (control+alt+Q) command
evaluates the selected area and opens a Snooper on the value.
Editing commands are available on the popup menu of the workspace pane, or
via keyboard shortcuts.
- Cut (control+x) is standard.
- Paste (control+v) is standard.
- Copy (control+c) is standard.
- Select All (control+a) is standard.
- Clear (control+l) clears the entire workspace.
- Browse (control+b) opens a browser on the class whose name has
been selected.
Several commands are available from the popup menu of the table
pane.
- Snoop opens a Snooper on the value in the selected line.
- Edit copies the text of the expression in the selected line to
the workspace, suitable for modification and re-evaluation.
- Do It re-evaluates the expression in the selected line.
The result of the expression is ignored. This command is most useful
when the expression has side effects.
- X := assigns the value in the selected line to
X.
- Clear lines deletes the values stored in the table.
