If I use quad-gets (⎕←...) to print some debugging information inside a function in Dyalog APL, it doesn't seem to respect my ]box settings. How can I print stuff with boxing on?
tmp ← {⎕←⍵}
]box on -s=max
┌→────────────────┐
│Was ON -style=max│
└─────────────────┘
3 3 3⍴⍳27
┌┌→───────┐
↓↓ 1 2 3│
││ 4 5 6│
││ 7 8 9│
││ │
││10 11 12│
││13 14 15│
││16 17 18│
││ │
││19 20 21│
││22 23 24│
││25 26 27│
└└~───────┘
tmp 3 3 3⍴⍳27 ⍝ No box!
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
10 11 12
13 14 15
16 17 18
19 20 21
22 23 24
25 26 27
Quoting from the ]box documentation, viewable with ]box -??:
-fns={off|on} diagram output from running functions Display of {⌽⎕←⍵}'hello' 'world' with -fns=... off on hello world ┌─────┬─────┐ ┌─────┬─────┐ │hello│world│ │world│hello│ └─────┴─────┘ └─────┴─────┘ ┌─────┬─────┐ │world│hello│ └─────┴─────┘
So you can enable boxed output from functions with ]box -f=on (note that user command modifiers can be abbreviated). You can also enable boxing globally and for functions as a single command: ]box on -f=on
