Hello!  
Is there a way to view a multidimensional matrix like in environment spyder?  
For example, I have a `NxNx2` matrix and I would like to present it in a similar form, where each cell would contain two elements

```julia
julia> @vscodedisplay rand(5,5)

```

I am sure that @vscodedisplay is the correct answer.  
However does TerminalPager help?

Yes, but each element is vector  
In order to see such a conclusion, I have to write like this

```julia
@vscodedisplay matrix_params[:,:,1]

```

I don’t think there’s anything like this and the screenshot you posted also doesn’t seem to do what you are suggesting?

Here’s a quick and dirty solution:

```julia
julia> x = rand(3, 3, 2)
3×3×2 Array{Float64, 3}:
[:, :, 1] =
 0.472609 0.734902 0.867968
 0.421715 0.0143313 0.495953
 0.568858 0.697733 0.238647

[:, :, 2] =
 0.395903 0.35504 0.614969
 0.0402253 0.260445 0.338076
 0.740139 0.0265304 0.340696

julia> Complex.(x[:, :, 1], x[:, :, 2])
3×3 Matrix{ComplexF64}:
 0.472609+0.395903im 0.734902+0.35504im 0.867968+0.614969im
 0.421715+0.0402253im 0.0143313+0.260445im 0.495953+0.338076im
 0.568858+0.740139im 0.697733+0.0265304im 0.238647+0.340696im

```

I have sent a screenshot to show an example of the output I would like to get for my case.  
Thank you

Hello,

What would be the solution for this if I am in the VSCode debugger? I can’t see a matrix variable (apart form the list view, which is unhelpful) and the “@vscodedisplay x” doesn’t work. Extensions like Data Wrangler doesn’t seem to work either.

Thanks in advance for the inputs.
