scalar

Scalar, built-in table

The Scalar table has exactly one line. Any variable without an explicit table prefix belongs to Scalar.

a = 1
b = "hello"

table T = extend.range(3)
T.X = a + T.N

show table "Scalar broadcast" with
  T.N
  T.X

This outputs the following table:

The Scalar table cannot be filtered with where or when.

scalar, tile type

The scalar tile is created with show scalar:

show scalar "Example" with 123

Besides numbers, dates, text, and booleans, a scalar tile can also display ranvar and zedfunc values (as a histogram or plot).
