Re: [Jmol-users] Debugging a script

[Robert H. <ha...@st...>]

For the application, use the Help...Jmol Java console to check for major
Java exceptions and please report those.

One thing many  people do no know is that the

pause

command lets you stop anywhere in any script and then RESUME later. An
interesting aspect of this is that it stops "in" any function, and you can
explore variables.

$ function testme(a,b,c) {   print a;pause;print c }
$ testme 1 2 3
1
script execution paused: RESUME to continue.
$ print b
2
$ resume

script execution resumed
3
$

or

$ testme 1 2 3
1
script execution paused: RESUME to continue.
$ print c
3
$ c = 100
$ resume

script execution resumed
100
$
