Latest features of HDevelopEVO Preview
Rapid Prototyping: Edit and optimize scripts in real time with "Edit & Continue"
A key feature of HDevelop is also available in HDevelopEVO. Users can modify running scripts and adjust parameter values during execution without restarting the script. This enables interactive development and supports rapid prototyping, significantly accelerating the development process.
Directly in the flow: Intuitive auto-completion with integrated documentation
The auto-completion in HDevelopEVO provides support when writing HALCON scripts. While coding, users can now view a short documentation of each operator when needed, helping them better understand its function and parameters. This makes script development faster and more efficient.
Git integration in HDevelopEVO enables seamless working without changing tools
HDevelopEVO integrates version control via Git, allowing users to manage projects directly without having to leave the development environment. Git operations, such as committing changes, can be performed seamlessly within HDevelopEVO. Code changes are highlighted in the editor and can be compared to previous versions, making it easier to track modifications within a project. This functionality also enhances team collaboration, as multiple users can work on a project simultaneously and merge their changes efficiently.
