Tk::Zinc::Trace - A module to trace all Tk::Zinc method calls
use Tk::Zinc::Trace; $Tk::Zinc::Trace:ForReplay = 1;
or
perl -MTk::Zinc::Trace YourZincBasedScript.pl [--code]
When loaded, this module overloads a Tk mechanism so that every Tk::Zinc method call will be traced. Every call will also be followed by a $zinc->update() so that the method call will be effectively treated.
This module can be very effective for debugging when Tk::Zinc core dumps and you have no clue which method call can be responsible for. If you just want to trace Tk::Zinc errors when calling a method you should rather use the Tk::Zinc::TraceErrors module
The global variable $Tk::Zinc::Trace:off can be used to trace some specific blocks. If set to 1, traces are deactivated, if set to 0, traces are reactivated.
If the global variable $Tk::Zinc::Trace:ForReplay is set or if the --code option is set in the second form, the printout will be very close to re-executable code, like this:
## following trace should be very close to a replay-script code
$zinc->configure(-relief => 'sunken', -borderwidth => 3,
-width => 700, -font => 10x20, -height => 600);
$zinc->add('rectangle', 1, [10, 10, 100, 50],
-fillcolor => 'green', -filled => 1, -linewidth => 10,
-relief => 'roundridge', -linecolor => 'darkgreen');
$zinc->add('text', 1, -font => -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* =>
-text => 'A filled rectangle with a "roundridge" relief border of 10 pixels.',
-anchor => 'nw', -position => [120, 20]);
$zinc->add('track', 1, 6,
-labelformat => 'x82x60+0+0 x60a0^0^0 x32a0^0>1 a0a0>2>1 x32a0>3>1 a0a0^0>2',
-position => [20, 120], -speedvector => [40, -10], -speedvectormark => 1, -speedvectorticks => 1);
$zinc->coords(4, [20, 120]);
If not (the default), the printout will be more informtative, giving the following information:
The trace will look like:
## Tk::Zinc::Trace ON

This module cannot be used when Tk::Zinc::TraceErrors is already in use.
As every Tk::Zinc method call is followed by an ->update call, this may dramatically slowdown an application. The trade-off is between application run-time and developper debug-time.
When using an output "code-like" they are still part of the output which is not executable code. However, the ouptut could be easily and manually edited to be executable perl code.
