Tomaž's Development Tools

 * Since LibreOffice 7.2, an object inspector tool is included, found under  (see release notes).
 * The tool is similar to the X-Ray and MRI extensions mentioned below.

Extensions

 * X-Ray Basic macro is displaying API objects and is exploring their content. It also displays most Basic datatypes. Its integration of API documentation for services, interfaces, properties and methods is limited to OpenOffice.
 * Alternative Python script organizer (apso) helps managing Python modules as LibreOffice or OpenOffice libraries.
 * MRI It is not always clear at design time which services a UNO object actually supports. MRI (My Reflection and Introspection) displays the properties, methods, services, interfaces which are provided by an object variable (latest release).
