Decimal Places in Workspace View

Hi

I am working on some code that needs decimal places to scientific precision.

I have created a loop that calculates determinants of matrices up to 512 x 512.

The determinants are output into a vector which, when I run the code enables the entries to be picked out individually, D1(10) will pick out the determinant of a 10x10 matrix from this vector.

D1 appears in the workspace, but when I open it the values have been reduced to 4 decimal places.

I am using the wokspace to compare these determinants for various matrices D2(10), D3(10) (all of which have vectors of determinants) etc.

Using the workspace to do this is causing problems due to the restriction to 4 decimal places.

Does a work around exist for this? Or does a more sophisticated approach exists to compare these vectors and inspect them visually?

Cheers

Joe

Are you aware you can format the output as you desire. Check the follow link if it helps you.

For each variable in the workspace, you can control th format setting.

You can get into Preferences and configure the default format setting for the workspace.

This default format setting for the workspace uses the same format codes, but is independent of the "format" command for the command window.

Thanks!

That does the trick.
