[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9050] Display variables by hovering the mouse cursor

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #4, patch #9050 (project octave):

Thanks for testing this again, Philip.

It seems that the Windows version still has a title bar.  I tried to get rid
of that.  (There isn't one on my Linux system.)  Do you need to click on the X
to clear it, or does it go when you move the mouse?

You're right that it gets messy for large matrices, but I think Matlab does
too.  My goal is to have some useful summary statistics for large matrices:
perhaps the output of matrix_type, perhaps the maximum and minimum values (and
their locations?), perhaps whether it is non-negative.  Many of my matrices
are sparse but stored as full, so I was thinking of using the sparse
representation if the matrix is "sparse enough".

Any suggestions of how you would like the output are welcome :)
