Variable Explorer
=================
The variable explorer shows the `globals()` namespace contents (i.e. all global
object references) of the current console: it supports both the :doc:`console`
(Python interpreter running in a remote process)
and the :doc:`internalconsole`.

The following screenshots show some interesting features such as editing
lists, strings, dictionaries, NumPy arrays, or plotting/showing NumPy arrays
data.

The default variable explorer configuration allows to browse global variables
without slowing the console even with very large NumPy arrays, lists or
dictionaries. The trick is to truncate values, to hide collection contents
(i.e. showing '<list @ address>' instead of list contents) and to *not* show
mininum and maximum values for NumPy arrays (see context menu options on the
screenshot at the top of this page).
However, most of the time, choosing the opposite options won't have too much
effect on console's performance:
