Display a variable in main graphics window

[laker]

How can I display the current value of a variable? All I need is something that works like the print statement but prints to the graphics window not the input/output window. Text boxes and dialogue boxes can show content but, as far as I can see, the content can't be a variable - it can only be a text string. Any tips appreciated!

Hi,

As Vizard is Python based, you actually can use Python's function to convert your variable to a string and show it in a text box or dialogue box.

Please try this simple sample:

import viz

viz.go()

a = 10
b = 3

box = viz.addTextbox()
box.setPosition(.5,.5)
box.message(str(a + b))
