The variable explorer shows the `globals()` namespace contents (i.e. all global
5
object references) of the current console: it supports both the :doc:`console`
6
(Python interpreter running in a remote process)
7
and the :doc:`internalconsole`.

lists, strings, dictionaries, NumPy arrays, or plotting/showing NumPy arrays

The default variable explorer configuration allows to browse global variables
28
without slowing the console even with very large NumPy arrays, lists or
29
dictionaries. The trick is to truncate values, to hide collection contents
30
(i.e. showing '<list @ address>' instead of list contents) and to *not* show
31
mininum and maximum values for NumPy arrays (see context menu options on the
32
screenshot at the top of this page).

However, most of the time, choosing the opposite options won't have too much
35
effect on console's performance:

The variable explorer can't show all types of objects. The ones currently
44
supported are: integers, floats, complex, lists, dictionaries, tuples, strings,
45
`NumPy` arrays, `datetime` dates and `PIL/Pillow` images.
