## GETPRINTLIMIT Get Limit For Printing Of Arrays

Section: Input/Ouput Functions

### Usage

Returns the limit on how many elements of an array are printed using either the `disp` function or using expressions on the command line without a semi-colon. The default is set to one thousand elements. You can increase or decrease this limit by calling `setprintlimit`. This function is provided primarily so that you can temporarily change the output truncation and then restore it to the previous value (see the examples).

       n=getprintlimit

where `n` is the current limit in use.

### Example

Here is an example of using `getprintlimit` along with `setprintlimit` to temporarily change the output behavior of FreeMat.

    --> A = randn(100,1);
    --> n = getprintlimit

    n =
     1000

    --> setprintlimit(5);
    --> A

    ans =
        0.6674
       -0.1948
        0.5671
       -0.6562
       -0.4182
    Print limit has been reached.  Use setprintlimit function to enable longer printouts
    --> setprintlimit(n)
