STk Inspector
Introduction
The inspector is the simplest tool to visualize the value of
Scheme variables. To inspect the variable my-variable, just type:
STk> (inspect 'my-variable)
A variable can also be inspected in particular environment as in:
STk> (inspect 'var (procedure-environment foo))
To uninspect a variable, just enter the following expression:
(uninspect 'var)
or select the Uninspect option in the Icon menu associated
with the object line inspector.
Screen organization
The inspector is a toplevel window divided in 2 areas:
- a menu bar with two buttons: Command and Help
- a list of all inspected objects. Each line of this list contains
4 fields which are:
- the name of the inspected varaiable.
- the environment of the inspected variable
- the current value of the inpected variable.
This field is editable; the <Return> key sets the
inspected variable to the value contained in
this field. The <Shift-Return> keys sets this
variable to the content of the field without eveluation.
- a menu icon which provides various actions on the
inspected variable.
