The CodeBrowser makes browsing through projects with multiple files and lots of functions easy, convenient and pleasant.

Requirements

  • Igor Pro version 6.3.0 or later

Installation

  1. Install Igor.
  2. Start Igor. This creates a folder called WaveMetrics in Documents. Close Igor.
  3. Extract the zip file into a folder somewhere on your disc.
  4. Create a link from CodeBrowser-v*/procedures to Documents\WaveMetrics\Igor Pro [6-8] User Files\Igor Procedures.
  5. Start Igor. You can now find CodeBrowser/Open in the main menu.

Features

  • Shows all functions/macros from a procedure file including parameter types, return types and special properties like static and threadsafe.
  • Shows Menu/Constant/StrConstant/Structure entries.
  • Shows the structure name for window hook and background tasks for easier searching.
  • Allows jumping to the definition of these elements within the code by mouse and keyboard.
  • Optionally alphabetically sorted lists.
  • Shows function comments as tooltips (IP8 only).
  • Works with Independent Modules.

For reasons of ease-of-use the function declarations are displayed as myFunction(var, str) -> var for a function taking a variable and string parameter and returning a variable. Programmers might recognize this as being inspired by the trailing return types from C++11.

Navigation by keyboard

  • CTRL+0: Open the panel.
  • Jump to the definition of the listbox selection with .
  • Pressing any character while the ListBox has the focus activates the first listbox entry which starts with that character.

Limitations

  • No parameter types are shown for macros
