Debugging GX Graphics Code

NOTE: This Technical Q&A has been retired. Please see the Technical Q&As page for current documentation.

Q:I am having a hard time debugging some of my GX graphics code. Is there a debugging INIT I can use?

A: You can download either of these two useful utilities, to be used with GX 1.1.3, for debugging GX graphics code:

GXGraphics(debug): This is a debugging INIT, intended only for developers. It enables validation and warning notices.

Note:

This will slow down your system because there are many error checks.
There is a known incompatibility between this INIT and QuickTime. It will be fixed in a future release of GXGraphics(debug).

GraphicsBug: This is a simple debugger to check the graphics objects that GX produces.
