PE6 code explorer variables tab: hex, please

[Morganl]

The variables are now displayed in decimal, binary, ASCII.
I would have use for hexadecimal too.

If you think it would be too many columns,
an idea is that by clicking a coloumn heading, it cycles bin/hex/dec/ASCII.

Not cycle a whole column, do it for each cell.

Quite often you need different variables displayed in different bases.

 

[Morganl]

Yes, but if per cell it is probably much more programming work for RevEd, and at 56 variables at least i would find it too many to click, and it would also need indication of which cell have which base.

There are already three different base columns. I guess simplest is to add a fourth column so all vars are displayed in all bases. hex value need only a very small width. The ASCII column could get more narrow, or hex values inserted in same cells as the ASCII like so: 5C '\'

At the moment the default display is Decimal/Binary/ASCII and clicking the "$" button/icon toggles between that and Hex/Binary/ASCII.

For most people using hex it should be easy enough to convert binary to hex. Perhaps one possibility might be to toggle the binary or ASCII column into hex rather than the decimal. I have made a note of the issue.

 

[Morganl]

Ah, you already have it.
I / we did not even notice the "$" up there... i see it is the same on the memory panel, good.

Yes, it may be good to see dec and hec at the same time.

For the memory panel, maybe consider cycling hex/dec/bin/ASCII
ASCII for stored strings of course
binary for i.e patterns for matrix displays or other control patterns.
