_ArrayDisplay and $iDesired_Colwidth

[mLipok]

I was working with  _Array1DToHistogram.au3 example

originally:

#include <Array.au3>

Local $aNEW[] = [0, -80, -49, -44, 80, 100, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Local $aArray = _Array1DToHistogram($aNEW, 125)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "_Array1DToHistogram")

my modified:

#include <Array.au3>

Local $aNEW[] = [0, -80, -49, -44, 80, 100, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Local $aArray = _Array1DToHistogram($aNEW, 125)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "_Array1DToHistogram", "", 0, Default, Default, 600)

My intention was to change/extend the column width to see all array elements

Why I can't set the width ?

[argumentum]

       

..to width or not to width 🤷‍♂️

So something goes wrong on my side.
Interesting. Do you use Windows 11 ?

[argumentum]

..that was Win10 but is not the issue. The issue is the width calculation
I just adjust it by hand extending the column so, .. I cheated
But the whole thing is the auto-width. ( that would depend on the font but haven't look at the code, just run the example. I've never seen that function. So thanks for sharing )

ah you little cheater

since in the help of _ArrayDisplay it says
$iDesired_Colwidth [optional] If positive Max width to which a ListView column will expand to show content.
Default = 350 pixels.
If Negative all columns, except the first one set to 55, will be set to Abs($iDesired_Colwidth).
But remember, the column size is always adapted to the length of the element displayed to show the entry data's.

#include <Array.au3>

Local $aNEW[] = [0, -80, -49, -44, 80, 100, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Local $aArray = _Array1DToHistogram($aNEW, 125)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "_Array1DToHistogram", "", 0, Default, Default, -350)

 

[argumentum]

..the values should be at the center:
=== -3
   3 ===

That way, even if the bar goes to ..infinite, you can read the values.

Local $aArray = _Array1DToHistogram($aNEW, 125)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "_Array1DToHistogram", "", 0, Default, Default, -350)

 

finally

 _Array1DToHistogram.au3 example should be changed like this:

#include <Array.au3>

Local $aNEW[] = [0, -80, -49, -44, 80, 100, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
Local $aArray = _Array1DToHistogram($aNEW, 125)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray, "_Array1DToHistogram", "", 0, Default, Default, -210)

...so, you are one of those "MVP" people I see in the forum 😛
Why don't you just change it ? Or is it better to make a trac entry ?

/me is quite new
