$OutputSizeLimit
$OutputSizeLimit
specifies the maximum size in bytes of expressions that will automatically be output in their entirety in a Mathematica notebook.
- For expressions larger than $OutputSizeLimit, portions of the expression are displayed, together with controls to allow more to be displayed.
- $OutputSizeLimit is not affected by constructs such as Graphics and SparseArray whose displayed form does not grow with the amount of data they contain.
- Larger portions of expressions elided as a result of $OutputSizeLimit can only be displayed while the corresponding Out[n] is accessible in a single kernel session.
This produces output that is somewhat lengthy:
| Out[1]= |  |
Set $OutputSizeLimit to be rather small:
| Out[2]= |  |
Now the same output as before is shown in a shortened form:
| Out[3]= |  |
This resets the $OutputSizeLimit option to its global setting:
| Out[4]= |  |
