Workspace Manager
The Workspace Manager window manages all information relevant to a MathJet session. Everything in the workspace — plot figures, worksheets, charts, graphs, open documents, scripts — appears in an editable tree-style view.
The display includes optional columns for visibility control (a checkbox per object that toggles whether it’s shown in the actual data window) and for detailed info about each object.
Features
Section titled “Features”Hierarchical or categorical display
Section titled “Hierarchical or categorical display”Two display modes via the Options menu:
- Hierarchical View — drill down the workspace’s object hierarchy by expanding tree nodes. Useful for understanding parent-child relationships (e.g., a chart contains graphs, each of which contains data series).
- Categorical View — group all objects of the same type into a folder node. Useful for finding “all charts” or “all variables” regardless of where they sit in the workspace.
Search and filter
Section titled “Search and filter”Filter the tree by typing keywords in the text box at the top-left corner of the window. Filtering works against object names, and applies in both display modes.
You can also adjust appearance — toggle grid lines, alternate row colors, etc. — via the Options button.
Options
Section titled “Options”Show auxiliary items
Section titled “Show auxiliary items”Objects that don’t contain user-entered data but are necessary for presenting information (axes, labels, titles, legends) are auxiliary. They only appear in the Workspace Manager when Show Auxiliary Items is enabled.
Show empty items
Section titled “Show empty items”Some objects may not be present inside their parent — e.g., an axis without a lighting object. Entries for empty items (or folders for empty categories) only appear when Show Empty Items is enabled.
Show dormant objects
Section titled “Show dormant objects”Some graph objects may be dormant in a chart. Entries for them appear in the tree only when Show Dormant Objects is enabled.
Dynamic selection sync
Section titled “Dynamic selection sync”When enabled, selection state is synchronized in both directions between the Workspace Manager and the active document:
- Click a tree node for a line graph → the line graph becomes selected in its chart, and its rendered width increases as a visual indicator.
- Click the same line graph directly in the chart → its selection state updates, and the corresponding tree entry highlights in the Workspace Manager.
When the linked tree entry isn’t visible before a selection occurs in the document, the Workspace Manager auto-expands the parent nodes and scrolls the tree to bring the entry into view.
