GPRINTF is a general replacement for the built-in fprintf function. In addition to printing to a file or the command window, GPRINTF can print formatted output to one or more display windows. Each display window has automatic scroll bars and can be independantly positioned and editted. This distribution includes an S-function wrapper for use with Simulink.
Features include:
File: open, save, save as, close
Edit: cut, copy, paste, clear
Format: font, wrap (on/off)
Automatic vertical / horizontal scroll bars
Full access to text and display properties via object handle.

Example:
>> gprintf(-1,'pi is approximately = %6.4f\n',pi)
>> gprintf(-1,'HELLO WORLD\n')

creates "Display Box 1" with the string "pi is approximately = 3.1416" on the first line and "HELLO WORLD" on the second line. Use the pull-down menus to customize the display or save its contents to a file.
