ToString representation of objects

[whb07]

I just began playing around with the library on both Jupyter and regular console to find the visual string representation do one of the following:

What's the recommended way to visually inspect objects or is this not a feature that's been implemented yet?

Seems the way forward would be to allow newcomers the same experience as one would have with Python/Pytorch rather than what it is now..closer to the C++ side.

Or am I missing something (most likely the case)?

Thanks!

For better context here is the Python side:

There are instructions on how to get notebooks to show tensors properly at https://github.com/dotnet/TorchSharpExamples/tree/main/tutorials.

Specifically, the formatting of tensors in notebooks is described in (the F# version):

https://github.com/dotnet/TorchSharpExamples/blob/main/tutorials/FSharp/tutorial1.ipynb

and a more general discussion on formatting is available in:

https://github.com/dotnet/TorchSharpExamples/blob/main/tutorials/FSharp/tutorial2.ipynb

@whb07 -- please close the issue if you determine that the tutorials above address your question. If not, please let me know how I can improve the tutorials.

Actually, I had the same problem before.

Actually, I had the same problem before.

This is exactly what the instructions in the tutorials are meant for.

If you're not eager to play with the tutorials, there's a wiki page for it, too:

@whb07 -- can we close this one? If I haven't answered the question, please let me know what remains to be answered.

When I understand this correctly, what is missing here is the DebuggerDisplayAttribute and related attributes on the most important classes.

It's also possible to register a custom formatter in Polyglott Notebooks using Microsoft.DotNet.Interactive.Formatting.Formatter.
