Thats basically how I debug right now as well. Even the power of a printf (or a log4j if we're getting fancy) doesn't tell you when/why something didn't get drawn.
I draw lots of quads, all data-driven. Some of the quads I request to be drawn are illegal (quads must be rectangles, its possible to get 4 points that cross so as to not make a valid rectangle). It would sure be helpful to get an error log or exception for the 1 out of 1000 that was illegal so I could fix it. (For example). Thanks.

I use the most sophisticated possible solution: System.err.println("Vector2 now is ("+Vector2.x+", "+Vector2.y+", "+Vector2.z+")"); What? Why are you all looking at me like that? -ben -----Original Message----- From: Brian Tarbox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 July 2003 12:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JAVA3D] how do you debug this stuff? A somewhat tongue in cheek question but how _do_ you debug? Lots of times I create a scene graph and nothing appears. I see no support for logging, and the draw code doesn't seem to return errors or throw exceptions. So, how are folks debugging their scene-graphs and transformations?
