Syntax

Show-Console [-Chart] [-ChildProperty <String>] [-Depth <Int32>] [[-InputObject] <PSObject>] [-Property <Object[]>] [-Title <Object>] [-View <ConsoleViewKind>] [-Width <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]

Parameter set: All Parameter Sets

Description

Shows pipeline input in the view that fits it best.

One object becomes an inspector; objects of one shape a table (cards when the window is narrow), using their DefaultDisplayPropertySet and presenters by type (bytes for Length and Size, dates, durations, Yes/No, status markers for enums such as Running/Stopped); hierarchical objects (a child collection of the same type, or -ChildProperty) a tree; a numeric series a bar chart; strings highlighted code when a language is detected, otherwise text. -View overrides the choice; Grid opens the interactive Show-ConsoleGrid and returns what you pick.
