UsingWW: debugging graphics and general

I"m trying to use dynamic graphics to display a series of graphs - real and imaging parts of a discrete complex function. I need to find the min and max of the solutions in order to set the limits on the graphs. I think I have this down using min(@vector) and max(@vector). I"m having difficulty on (at least) two points plotting the discrete points, I try

$point1[0] = closed_circle(n_vec[0],$alpha_re[0], 'red');

which give a syntax error I cannot find. The vectors n_vec and alpha_re are defined and used elsewhere.

commenting those lines out, I get an error at line 137

136		$graph_re[$j] -> stamps($point1[0],$point1[1]);
137		$fig_re[$j] = image(insertGraph($graph_re[$j]),width => 240,height => 180,tex_size => 200);

a divide by zero. I thought this would be problems with the computed limits. But I'm having difficulty displaying the limits, since program bombs. How do I find the offending values?

Thanks

You need $n_vec[...] not just n_vec.

ARGH!! I hate it when it is something like that.

OK, now on the the next problem

Line 360 of WWPlot.pl is

        int( ($ymax - $y)*${$self->size}[1]/($ymax-$ymin) );

which suggest that $ymax and $ymin are the same. I'd look at the values you are passing for the range of y values and see that they really make sense. Try printing them out and see if they are really different.

I kinda figured that when I wrote

I thought this would be problems with the computed limits. But I'm having difficulty displaying the limits, since program bombs. How do I find the offending values?

I found the problems but in order to get the program to allow printing the various values, I had to comment out a lot of stuff that was after the offending line along with the line the call inserting the image.

Is there a better/more efficient way to print the values before the point where the program aborts?

Is there a way to use an editor that would make the debugging process less onerous? I could use a standard editor copying and pasting the new code to the webwork editor is the only way I'd know to run the modified code.

thanks
