8.2.12 dispstrs

Function: out = dispstrs (x)

Display strings for array.

Gets the display strings for each element of x. The display strings should be short, one-line, human-presentable strings describing the value of that element.

The default implementation of dispstrs can accept input of any type, and has decent implementations for Octave’s standard built-in types, but will have opaque displays for most user-defined objects.

This is a polymorphic method that user-defined classes may override with their own custom display that is more informative.

Returns a cell array the same size as x.
