Using the Python Editor interactive console

The following assumes the default Python preferences settings are used. The code you enter is colorized based on Python syntax types:

• comments are red
• strings are green
• keywords are orange
• output is blue
• Python reserved words are purple

To populate the interactive console:

1. Click the interactive console.

   Entry lines start at the >>> prompt and feedback lines have no beginning.

2. Type a statement and then click Enter.

To copy, cut, paste, undo or redo:

• Right-click to choose an option from the contextual menu.

To traverse history, do either of the following:

• Click Alt + N.
• Click Alt + P.

To auto-complete an entry:

• Click Ctrl + Space.

  Relevant completion options become available in a window.

  For example:

  x=FBModel
  x. ...
  

  this returns all available options for

  x=FBModel
  

  

  If you enter for example

  y=2
  y. ...
  

  this returns nothing.

To adjust the height of the interactive console without resizing the Python Editor window:

• Drag the bottom border of the interactive console.
