There is a coercion dot here. Anyone see it?!?! Can the color please be changed to something else if the terminal is pink? Especially if it's wired into a bundle.
I've been considering making an Idea about a "Coercion Dot Manager" that would include features like showing a text list of all Coercion Dots in a VI, a button that would blink all coercion dots (think "Show Buffer Allocations"), being able to double-click coercions in the list which would pan to that part of the diagram and blink the dot (think of the "Find" functionality), and perhaps even allow the developer to associate permanent comments with Coercion Dots (e.g., to explain mitigated coercions). Would this be a desirable alternative?
The VI Analyzer already provides that ability. I'd be more likely to encourage developers to use that tool more than to develop a second tool.
True, true. However, a lightweight Coercion Dot Manager tool could stand on the customer-side of the $1k price barrier. Economics aside, coercion management might be an important enough design tool to break away from VIA - think about Show Buffer Allocations and Show Constant Folding (similar design tools to test performance). Further, the development of such a tool would be possible in G (BD >> Wires >> Terms >> Coerced?). addon_candidate tag, perhaps?
I will have to use the VI analyzer more as Aristos suggested. However, if I were to write my own (which I may) can you get a reference to coercion dots using scripting? I don't see it.
