*cmdtrace* — Control tcl command tracing

h2. Syntax
{panel:|borderStyle=solid|borderWidth=1|bgColor=#FFFFAA}

*cmdtrace on* \[_level_]
*cmdtrace off* 
*cmdtrace maxblockcount* _count_ 

{panel}

h2. Description

The *cmdtrace* turns on or off tcl command tracing. Traced commands are visible in Geocaps command log window. Enabling command tracing will reduce Tcl performance somewhat, although built-in C++ algorithms are not affected. Don't trace more levels than you need if this is a concern. 

You may wish to trace commands only at a given level. A level refers to the level of nested scope in which a command is executed. A toplevel command, executed outside any proc and namespaces, belong to level 1. Commands called from a level 1 command will have level 2, etc. 

h2. Arguments
*on* _level_ 
{indent}Enables command tracing. The default level is 0, meaning all levels are traced. If you specify a level only commands lower or equal to that level will be traced. 
{indent}
*off* 
{indent}Disables command tracing.{indent} 

*maxblockcount* _count_ 
{indent}How many lines to keep in the command log window. The default value is 2000.{indent} 
 
h2. Examples
The following example show commands at level 1 and level 2.
