Display Format label

[allebarbieri]

In my experience, it is common to open files written by other peole, and realize that constants are displayed in hex or bin format only after spending time in debugging.

I think it would be nic to see directly on the block diagram the display format.

This could also apply to controls/indicators.

How does this differ from the radix?

[allebarbieri]

When I see 101, normally I think it is "101" dec.

If the display format is however hexadecimal, this equals to "257" decimal, if binary "5"dec.

A lot of times I thought I was thorugh serial a "10" decimal, for example, but it was "10" hex = 16 dec.

Yes, but if you choose Visible Items -> Radix, don't you get just what your asking for?

[allebarbieri]

Now I got it.

I am sorry I didn't realized that radix was exactly what I was asking for.

Thank you M_Peeker

Furthermore, when the radix is shown, you can click on it to be able to change the display format.  I little trick I find helpful sometimes.

Already possible with Visible Items > Radix
