Embedded Log on Right

[#1]

I use the embedded log a lot:

Right-click to get the popup.

The code editor is shortened, top-to-bottom, and the log is quite wide:

I'd like more vertical space in the upper editor.

Run this and it is fixed!

(Current Window() << child) << sethorizontal( 1 );

A narrow log is fine; usually I'm just watching for an error message.

I like this on a landscape display.

I'm also experimenting with a proportional font. I'm not sure why all code editors think a mono-spaced font should be default...I think it is a hold over from 80-column punched cards.

A wish-list already exists Allow Log window to be reorganized

This is great, thanks for posting!  I have already added this to my personal collection of utility scripts.

Is there a message that can be sent to the script window to check to see if the embedded log is turned on and also then to turn on or off the embedded log display?

Thanks! I did not spend much time searching, but I did not figure out how to script show embedded log. It is in the prefs, but that's too late after the editor is open. You can check the horizontal flag, but that doesn't tell you much unless you just want to toggle it.

Adding a like to the wish list will probably help this get some attention.

JMP 16 (not sure about 15 and earlier) already does this nicely in a project. Use the project menu to add the log window and dock the window (drag with mouse) where you want it.

Once docked, on the right in my case, it reopens in the same place when the project is opened, and is shared by all the tabs.
