[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57919] Octave's visualization of structures can be improved

[Richard]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #57919 (project octave):

I have to second this, Octave's output for a structure of any depth or
significant size is useless because it is far too verbose.

I once wrote a function that printed a structure more compactly, like this:


>> dispstruct (struct ('a', rand(50), 'b', 1, 'c', 2, 'd', [4,5,6,7], 'e',
'text', 'f', 8, 'g', 9, 'h', 10, 'i', 11, 'j', struct('f1', 1)))
Nonscalars and non character arrays:
Field: a        [50 50] double  [ 0.744608, 0.186078, 0.316489, 0.54813, ... ]
Field: d        [1 4]   double  [ 4, 5, 6, 7, ... ]
Field: j        [1 1]   struct  
Scalar fields and character arrays:
     Field |   Contents |      Field |   Contents |      Field |   Contents | 
    Field |   Contents
         b |          1 |          c |          2 |          e |       text | 
        f |          8
         g |          9 |          h |         10 |          i |         11 | 
          |   


Happy to share if it's of interest.
