Analyze and learn

Kanzi Studio enables you to analyze and debug your application in several different ways.

Preview Visualize mode

To switch the Visualize mode on and off, in the Preview click .

When in the Visualize mode, use the drop down menu to select what you want to view in the Preview.

Log window

The Log window shows events logged by Kanzi Studio including:

• The state of your application, such as trigger messages
• Links to the binary files when Kanzi Studio creates an application from your project
• Shader compiler errors contain hyperlinks to the relevant location in the shader code
• Warnings and errors

To open the Log window in the main menu select Window > Log. When the Log window is closed you can see the latest log message in the Status Bar.

You can find all Kanzi Studio log messages in %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Temp/KanziStudioLogs. If you encounter a problem with Kanzi Studio, when contacting the technical support, send the log files along so that the technical support team can pinpoint and help you solve the problem.

For technical support go to Kanzi Support Portal at http://support.rightware.com/ or send an email to kanzi.support@rightware.com.

Color coding in Kanzi Studio

Kanzi Studio color codes nodes, resources, and properties:

• Red type marks nodes or resources that are in an invalid state. Move the mouse pointer over the item to get the description of the problem.
  
• Blue type marks the properties that are controlled by a binding.
  

Getting help

When you need a brief explanation on what a property does, move your mouse pointer over the name of that property.

If you want to get more information about an item in your project, such as what a Viewport 2D or a Delta Node is used for, select an item in the Project, Nodes, or Library windows and in the Properties click or press F1.

This opens the Kanzi documentation in your default browser.
