Displaying Statistics<br />
Choose Statistics from the Options menu to display a window containing statistics<br />
and other information about the variable being visualized. The window<br />
contains:<br />
* the name of the variable<br />
* its type and number of dimensions<br />
* the total number of elements the variable contains, and the total number<br />
of active elements, based on the context you set within <strong>Prism</strong> (see the next<br />
section for a discussion of setting the context)<br />
* the variable's minimum, maximum, and mean; these statistics reflect the<br />
context you set for the visualizer<br />
Figure 28 gives an example of the Statistics window.<br />
Figure 28. Statistics for a visualizer.<br />
For complex numbers, <strong>Prism</strong> uses the modulus.<br />

Choose Set Context from the Options menu to display a dialog box in which<br />
you can specify which elements of the variable are to be considered active and<br />
which are to be considered inactive. Active and inactive elements are treated differently<br />
in visualizers:<br />
