HomeVisionXL Debug Plug-in
When developing plug-ins it can be useful to put some debugging commands in
the code that output some text indicating that a certain point in the code
has been reached or for dumping the value of some variable. Especially on
Microsoft Windows this is a bit difficult because the standard output of the
plug-in doesn't show up anywhere. In these situations the debug plug-in can
help out. When the plug-in is enabled, a screen appears that other plug-ins
can use for sending their output. In those other plug-ins include the
following code:
hvImport debug debug
After that you can use the debug command to send a string to
the debug window. Example:
debug "The value of variable foo is: $foo"
