Display Data in Output Options

Use this to set the general layout of the structures displayed from the Display Data in Output dialog.

Layout

Style

The style to use for output:

Plain Plain space delimited out in a mono-spaced black font.
Formatted Formatted output with variable width font, colours and tab alignment.

Arrangement

Specifies how data structures are to be displayed on the page:

Parallel columns Structures will be output in parallel columns across the page.
Serial, items across the page Structures will be output one at a time, with items in rows across the page.
Serial items down the page Structures will be output one at a time, with items in columns down the page.

Row label width

The number of characters to allow at the start of a line to display the row labels.

Row labels

What to output when row labels are present (e.g. in matrices):

Labels Use labels for row labels
Identifiers Use the structure names for row labels
Integers Use integers 1,2,3… for row labels.
None No row labels.

Column labels

What to output when column labels are present (e.g. in matrices):

Labels Use labels for column labels
Identifiers Use the structure names for column labels
Integers Use integers 1,2,3… for column labels.
None No column labels.

Indentation

The number of characters to indent the output lines.

Maximum line length

Specifies the maximum length of an output line before the items are wrapped onto a new line, or a new output block is started.

Wrap data onto subsequent lines

When a line becomes too long, a new line is started immediately following the current line to write the rest of the structures out to. If this option is not selected the structures are put out in blocks, with all rows for the first block of structures, and then the next block with the next lot of structures. The blocks of structures are made up of columns that will fit within the line width being used.

Omit blank lines

Do not add in blank lines to separate structures.

Structure headings

Specifies how structures headings are displayed in columns:

Identifiers Use the structure names.
Extra The column’s extra description when present.
Associated identifier For a table, the variate the table was created from, e.g. the variate averaged to give a table of means.

Display missing values as

The string to use to display a missing value (the default is an asterisk *).

Table layout

Specifies how tables are to be displayed:

Table margins

Specifies the table margins. Note: a wafer is a separate page/section of output.

Full All the margins of the table.
Columns The margins associated with column factors
Rows The margins associated with row factors.
Associated identifier The margins associated with wafer factors.

Omit empty table lines

If this is selected, rows of a table that only contain missing values will not be output.

Display unknown cell count

If the unknown cell count is positive, this will be output.

Number of table factors

These items control the layout of the classifying factors of tables:

Across The number of factors that will go across columns.
Down The number of factors that will go down rows.
Wafer The factors that will be output as wafers (i.e. as separate blocks).
