TraceAbove

TraceAbove
is an option for Trace and related functions which specifies whether to include evaluation chains which contain the evaluation chain containing the pattern form sought.
MORE INFORMATION
  • TraceAbove->True includes the first and last expressions in all evaluation chains within which the evaluation chain containing form occurs.
  • TraceAbove->All includes all expressions in these evaluation chains.
  • TraceAbove allows you to specify separately which expressions to include in the backward and forward directions.
  • Using TraceAbove, you can see the complete paths by which expressions matching form arose during an evaluation.
