Screen shots showing IDLWAVE in action with Emacs 21
- New active breakpoint line, showing the breakpoint menu
(accessible with right-click), and the pop-up breakpoint information.
Also shown at left is the Emacs Speedbar tool (Tools->Display
Speedbar), browsing a list of .pro files and their routines.
- Version 5.0. Notice the marginal breakpoint glyphs, one
conditional, one after 3 hits. The new HTML help is displayed using
the emacs w3m mode browser, and the line is stopped in Electric Debug
Mode.
- An IDLWAVE buffer. Notice the colored syntax and pop-up iMenu
navigation of routines in the buffer.
- A routine's keyword being completed from the shell. The debugging
toolbar, activated when running the shell, is seen. The completed
keywords are blue. Right clicking on one queues up the relevant
online help, as seen below.
- Old text-based online help. The help text for a keyword from the
completion menu in the previous screenshot is instantly queued up
in a separate frame.
- Routine info. The routine info for a command which exists in
multiple libraries is shown, sorted according to which is most
likely to be used by IDL. Flags indicate the source of routine
information.
- Stepping through code. The breakpoint is indicated with a red
dot. The code is being stepped through, with current location
indicated by the arrow at left. A value was printed by
shift-clicking it.
