6.22.2   Inspecting Vectors

Vectors are container variables for tuples, iconic objects, or vectors. See section “Vectors” for a detailed description. Because vector variables can be multi-dimensional, the inspection window presents their values in a tree-like fashion.

  vector := {{[1],[2]}, {[3],[4]}, {[5],[6]}}

The example variable vector is a two-dimensional vector. It contains three vector variables which in turn contain two single-element tuples each. Figure 6.85 shows the inspection window of this variable. Depending on the dimensionality of the inspected vector variable, the sub-nodes can be further inspected by clicking the icon in front of the corresponding element. If the inspected vector variable contains control values as in the example, the individual values at the leafs of the tree can be edited like tuple variables (see section “Editing Variable Values”).

Figure 6.85: Vector variable inspection.

In addition to the tuple values, some statistical data can be displayed:

• minimum value
• maximum value
• sum of values
• mean value
• deviation
• value types
• number of values
• semantics (if appropriate)
• vector dimension.

You can select the statistical data to be displayed by right-clicking the statistics table and selecting the corresponding entries.
