Debugging Functions

Functions that return information about the search area for debugging purposes

The following functions are only available in the Search Conditions section.

These functions can be used for debugging prints. You can run print commands after specifying a set of instructions limiting the search area in order to see the results of these instructions.

Function	Description
FuzzyRect SearchArea()	Created search area - a fuzzy rectangle. Read-only.
RectArray ExcludedRects()	Array of rectangles excluded from the search area. Read-only.
PageArea PageSearchAreaLocal( Int PageNumber )	Returns the search area that intersects the given page, in the local coordinates of the page.
PageArea PageSearchAreaGlobal( Int PageNumber )	Returns the search area that intersects the given page, in global coordinates.

Example

To print the search area of an element:

In the Advanced pre-search relations section, type the following code for the selected element:

Print: Str(SearchArea);

or equivalent code

Print: Str(SearchArea ());

The Str function converts the results into string format required for printing.
