One thought I had along those lines was to replace or supplement expressions with their result as they were evaluated. That way you could see the code in action as you stepped through it:
(Display boundingBox extent * 0.8) truncated
would become:
((0 at 0 corner: 1005 at 714) extent * 0.8) truncated
would become:
((1005 at 714) * 0.8) truncated
would become:
(804.0 at 571.2) truncated
would become:
804 at 571
all within the original box structure. But, for now, I'm going to puzzle over Alan's suggestions.
Cheers,
Bob
