Displaying Statistics

Choose Statistics from the Options menu to display a window containing statistics and other information about the variable being visualized. The window contains:

• The name of the variable

• Its type and number of dimensions

• The total number of elements the variable contains, and the total number of active elements, based on the context you set within Prism (see the next section for a discussion of setting the context)

• The variable's minimum, maximum, and mean; these statistics reflect the context you set for the visualizer

Figure 5-13 gives an example of the Statistics window.

For complex numbers, Prism uses the modulus.
