<center><h1>Globals List</h1></center>

The <b>Globals List</b> contains a list of the global variables of the
target application.<p>

This list has one list-specific operation: <b>Trace Variable</b>
creates a new toplevel window that will contain set statements
reflecting writes to the variable.  (The trace will contain the last
50 set's by default, the number can be set through the
<tt>*Variable_trace.savelines</tt> option.)
<b>Trace Variable</b> handles both
scalars and arrays.<p>

For an interesting example of how this works, try the following:

<ul>
  <li> Select an application (for example, <b>tkinspect</b> itself.)
  <li> Choose <b>Show Global...</b> from the <b>Globals</b> menu, and
       enter <tt>tkPriv</tt>.
  <li> Choose <b>Trace Variable</b> from the <b>Globals</b> menu.
</ul>

You will now be tracking the <tt>tkPriv</tt> array.<p>

The default list of patterns for the list filter is:

<pre>
    ^tkPriv.*
    ^auto_.*
    ^tk_.*
</pre>

And is read from the option <tt>*Globals_list.patterns</tt>.
