;+ ; NAME: ; DXDOWN ; ; AUTHOR: ; Craig B. Markwardt, NASA/GSFC Code 662, Greenbelt, MD 20770 ; craigm@lheamail.gsfc.nasa.gov ; ; PURPOSE: ; Move the debugging focus deeper down the IDL call stack ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; DXDOWN [ , NLEVELS ] ; ; DESCRIPTION: ; ; DXDOWN moves the debugging "focus" deeper down the IDL call stack. ; By using this procedure and DXUP, one can navigate up and down an ; existing call stack, and examine and set variables at various ; levels. ; ; While IDL always keeps the command line at the deepest call level ; (i.e., where the breakpoint occurred), DXDOWN and its related ; debugging procedures maintain a separate notion of which part of ; the call stack they are examining -- the debugging "focus." ; ; DXDOWN moves the debugging focus deeper by at least one level, but ; never beyond the deepest level. ; ; INPUTS: ; ; NLEVELS - option number of levels to move. Default (and minimum) ; value is 1. ; ; EXAMPLE: ; ; dxdown ; ; Move the debugging focus down one level. ; ; SEE ALSO: ; ; DXUP, DXDOWN, DXGET, DXSET ; ; MODIFICATION HISTORY: ; Written, 15 Apr 2000 ; ; $Id: dxdown.pro,v 1.2 2001/02/09 04:57:16 craigm Exp $ ; ;- ; Copyright (C) 2000, Craig Markwardt ; This software is provided as is without any warranty whatsoever. ; Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute modified or ; unmodified copies is granted, provided this copyright and disclaimer ; are included unchanged. ;-
