HELP
Displays the container information that is
transmitted on a line between two objects.

USE
Use Line Probe as a debugging tool to examine
the container transmitted on a line.  When
you select Line Probe, the cursor changes to
crosshairs.  Click on the line you wish to
examine.  A dialog box displays the current
container on the line.

If the container on the line is not nil,
the dialog box displays the current type,
shape, and size of the containers.  Data
values of up to Array 2D are shown.  If any
of the dimensions of the container are
mapped, the mapping values are shown for each
dimension.

Control inputs often have no data on them.
Sequence output pins never have data on them.
If an object has not yet operated, the lines
connected to its outputs may show nil or old
data.

LOCATION
Edit ==> Line Probe

NOTES
Check the endpoints of a line by selecting
Line Probe and dragging the pointer to the
line.  When you release the mouse button over
the highlighted line, current attributes of
the line are displayed.

Also, to view the endpoints of a line
without showing its data, select Line Probe
and hold down the mouse button when the
pointer is over the line.  Move the pointer
away from the line before releasing the
button.

You can check the data inside terminals of
an object by double-clicking on the terminals
in the open view.

SHORT CUTS
Press [Shift].  Place pointer over line and
click left mouse button.  You can look at the
data on series of lines this way, one at a
time.
