octave

Show editor and output at the same time

When using the octave-IDE, I can select between the command window and the editor, but not see both at the same time.
Therefore I can't immediatly see outputs from print statements in my scripts.

Is there a layout that shows both or am I doing something else wrong?

Solution

  • You can drag any window and reposition it within the layout.

    E.g., if you switch to the Editor window and click and drag with your mouse the editor's titlebar (i.e. the bit that says 'Editor', right about the editor's File / View menu), you can then start dragging it to the right, and identify a new 'grid' cell to drop it in.

    If you're not getting an appropriate gridpoint to drop it in, try resetting the layout and trying again (from Window tab, select "Reset Default Window Layout" at the bottom)
