Displaying

Displaying shows the result of evaluating an expression in the scrapbook editor.

1.

In the scrapbook page, either type an expression or highlight an existing expression to be inspected. For example:

System.getProperties()

2.

Either click the Display button in the toolbar or select Display from the selection's context menu.

3.

The result of the inspection appears highlighted in the scrapbook editor.

The result displayed is either

  • the value obtained by sending toString() to the result of the evaluation, or
  • when evaluating a primitive data type (e.g., an int ), the result is the simple value of the result.
