🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use PDL::IO::Browser;

---

👑 FUNCTIONS 👑

✨ browse ✨

Signature: (a(n,m))

💅 browse 💅

browse a 2D array using terminal cursor keys — yes literally just the arrow keys, no cap 🫶

browse $data

so here's the tea ☕: this one uses the CURSES library so you can scroll around a PDL array using the cursor keys. that's the entire bit. it's giving "extremely useful, extremely lowkey about it." 💜

okay important heads up bestie 🚨 browse does not process bad values. It will set the bad-value flag of all output ndarrays if the flag is set for any of the input ndarrays. so like, keep that in mind fr fr, don't come for me later 😭
