set.restore.point.options: Set global options for restore points

In restorepoint: Debugging with restore points

Description

Set global options for restore points

Usage

  set.restore.point.options(options = NULL, ...)

Arguments

options	a list of options that shall be set. Possible options are listed below
storing	Default=TRUE enable or disable storing of options, setting storing = FALSE basicially turns off debugging via restore points
use.restore.point.console	Default=TRUE. If FALSE then when options are restored, they are simply copied into the global environment and the R console is directly used for debugging. If TRUE a browser mode will be started instead. It is still possible to parse all R commands into the browser and to use copy and paste. To quit the browser press ESC in the R console. The advantage of the browser is that all objects are stored in a newly generated environment that mimics the environemnt of the original function, i.e. global varariables are not overwritten. Furthermore in the browser mode, one can pass the ... object to other functions, while this does not work in the global environment. The drawback is that on older versions of RStudio the approach might not work and lead to a crash. Try the news, which crashes when it is attempted to parse a command from the console using the parse() command.
