kdb/q: Increase visible rows in browser

Question

Hi I am running kdb and usually use the browser for basic viewing of the tables by running the kdb on a port: \p xxx My questions is how can I increase the visible rows in the browser? Currently I believe there is a fixed number of rows that are visible. I would like to be able to view more or less rows. Is there a settings or a command?

I have added this to the first two rows of the script : `\p 8000 \c 20 2000` but dimensions still the same. I mean the `c\ xxxx xxx` works in the q console but it doesn't have the same effect in the browser. – Alim Hasanov May 23 '17 at 20:18
That's terminal output you are modifying - http://code.kx.com/wiki/Reference/Cmdlinec. You need to use \C – Sean O'Hagan May 23 '17 at 20:23
Ugh! Capital `-C` did it. I was using the `-c`, oversight. So the right way is: `q file.q -C 1000 2000` Thanks @Sean – Alim Hasanov May 23 '17 at 20:28

To expand on the other answer, kdb allows you to change to the console size in a session with \c or via command line with the -c flag. The HTTP size is with an upper case C (\C and -C).

The HTTP size has limits of 10 and 2000 for both height and width, so if you wished to set a height of 2000 and width of 1000:

q)\C 2000 1000
