Print Structures to Notebooks?

Share icon

How can I capture an entire structure to print to a notebook? My structure contains all sorts of things, so StructPut fails. The purpose is for debugging ... I want to review the structure throughout various stages in processing in a bit more comfort than afforded by the history window. Am my left to parse each portion of the structure to print separately, or can print MYSTUCTURE somehow be "redirected"?

I notice back in Aug 30 2006, Jan Ilavsky had nearly this same question on the Igor mailing list. I did not find a response.
It seems like you could just use the print operation to put the structure into the history window and use CaptureHistory() and CaptureHistoryStart() to grab the history into a string and then place that in a notebook.

Oh! Yes, perfect. Thanks!

Oh, wow! Someone actually knows about CaptureHistory, and someone else thinks it's useful!
