The problem with Math Vis is when you use it a lot then you can easily get your View_3D polluted with lots of Matrix boxes and Vectors, etc... The only way to get rid of those elements is by deleting the related variables from the Console. But sometimes its just tedious to delete the variables one by one or even remember which variables have been defined at all.
- The patch adds a new Operator which is called form within the Console Menu. The menu entry is: "Clear Math Vis" This operator deletes all items that can be displayed by MathVis
- I also added a panel with a list of visualize able items
- You can hide each item
- You can lock each item so that it gets not purged when cleaning up the console (see below)
- you can delete unlocked items
- The "Hide Names" property allows to suppress the display of item names on the display
- The "Hide BBoxes" property allows to hide the coordinate system for matrix like items
- The scale value is for the display size of matrix like items: The original display for a couple of nearby matrices: And here the enhanced display:
- The "Cleanup MathVis Console" operator deletes all local console variables which can be displayed by Math Vis and which have not been locked in the panel
- I also tweaked the display of text a bit so that for items that are displayed at the 3D Cursor their names are now written in a list (below each other) instead of on top of each other which made no sense at all.
Note: Of course you can still delete and add variables on the console as you like. The variable lock as explained above is only related to the "Cleanup MathVis Console" operator
