Hi Peter, > I want to somehow display how far I am in a MC simulation. > I could just print the iterating variable in my for loop, but then > this just outputs waaaaaaay too many lines cluttering the output. Is > there a way to Print overtop a line (i.e. > replace a line of output)? This topic was discussed around 9 Feb, 2005 (Controlling Print[])..... You can use the status bar. The following is credited to Theodore Gray Showstatus[status_] := LinkWrite[$ParentLink, SetNotebookStatusLine[FrontEnd`EvaluationNotebook[], ToString[status]] ] Use it as you would Print, for example Print[#]& /@ Range[10]; Showstatus[#]& /@ Range[100000]; > or maybe a plot that slowly changes to make a pretty display? Depending on your code, incorporating a plot shouldn't be too difficult. However, this is likely to fill your notebook with lots of graphics, chewing up memory, disc space or both. Plots might be useful if you were making movies. Regards, Dave. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
