Debug DatA Export

Visual Studio gives great options to inspect data in your debug session. However, exporting data for use in other environments, to generate plots of the data and export them in various formats is not easily possible out of the box. ILNumerics Array Visualizer fills this gap. It let's you create scientific plots of your data and export them into a number of popular graphic formats. including vector graphic and data exchange formats. 

The Share Menu

The ILNumerics Array Visualizer lets you export your debug data in various ways. The type of export depends on the currently selected output type. For text output the values will be exported in number formats. For graphical outputs images will result.

All exports are performed from the Share menu, located at the top right corner of the  Array Visualizer tool window. 

Furthermore, the Share menu gives access to useful links to this documentation and provides info on how to buy a license to ILNumerics products.

  • PNG (pixel graphic)
  • JPG (pixel graphic)
  • BMP (pixel graphic)
  • SVG (vector graphic, useful for PDF generation)
  • MAT (Matlab version 6, binary number format)
  • HDF5 dataset (binary number format)
  • CSV (comma seperated text format)
  • TXT (plain text, similar to the text output)

Clipboard Export

Data from the current output can be copied into the clipboard easily. For image output types, the clipboard contains the bitmap data in a format which can be pasted into any suitable application / document.
