Re: [Bug-apl] Cell grid in ⎕CR output?

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Elias,

this is actually not so easy and I can imaging a number of inner/outer line styles that could become
too complex for a ⎕CR mode to be useful. How about using APL? Like:

A←'╔╗╚╝║═╦╩╠╣╬║═'   ⍝ all lines double
A←'╔╗╚╝║═╤╧╟╢┼│─'   ⍝ outside lines double, inside lines single
B←3 4⍴1 2 3 4 'a' 'b' 'cde' 'f' 9 10 11 12

∇Z←A GRID B;⎕IO;B1;C1;C2;X;Y;ZX;ZY
 ⎕IO←1
 ⍝ add vertical lines, remember their X-coordinates in X
 B1←(⊃,/⊃¨{ A[12],⍕B[;,⍵] }¨⍳¯1↑⍴B),A[5] ◊ B1[;1]←A[5]
 C1←(⊃,/⊃¨{ ' ',⍕B[;,⍵]} ¨⍳¯1↑⍴B),' '
 X←B1[1;] ≠ C1[1;]
 ⍝ add horizontal lines, remember their Y-coordinates in Y
 (ZY ZX)←⍴Z←A[6]⍪(2 1×⍴B1)⍴B1,[1.5]A[13] ◊ Z[ZY;]←A[6]
 C2←' '⍪(2 1×⍴C1)⍴C1,[1.5]' ' ◊ Y←Z[;2] ≠ C2[;2]
 ⍝
 (Y⌿X/Z)←A[11]                       ⍝ crosses
 (X/Z[1;])←A[7] ◊ (X/Z[ZY;])←A[8]    ⍝ top/bottom lines
 (Y⌿Z[;1])←A[9] ◊ (Y⌿Z[;ZX])←A[10]   ⍝ left/right lines
 Z[1,ZY; 1,ZX]←2 2⍴A                 ⍝ corners
∇

 A GRID B

Would it be possible to add a ⎕CR mode where matrices are displayed in a grid?

In other words, instead of displaying 3 3⍴⍳9 like this:

┌→────┐

↓1 2 3│

│4 5 6│

│7 8 9│

└─────┘

I'd like it to be displayed like this:

┌→┬─┬─┐

↓1│2│3│

├─┼─┼─┤

│4│5│6│

├─┼─┼─┤

│7│8│9│

└─┴─┴─┘

I was looking at the code, and it actually seems slightly harder to do than I expected since the frame around a matrix is drawn separately from the actual content, and the grid-style requires that the frame changes depending on the alignment of the actual cells inside the matrix.

However, I still would like to ask if there is a way to do it, as there are cases where the grid notation is much more clear.
