As a beginner, I would like to understand what is in the object stack and what I select. As far as I understand, the debug() is here for that purpose.

When executing the CQGI script example, provided in the documentation:

base_cube = cq.Workplane('XY').rect(1.0,1.0).extrude(1.0)
top_of_cube_plane = base_cube.faces(">Z").workplane()
debug(top_of_cube_plane, { 'color': 'yellow', } )
debug(top_of_cube_plane.center, { 'color' : 'blue' } )

circle=top_of_cube_plane.circle(0.5)
debug(circle, { 'color': 'red' } )

show_object( circle.extrude(1.0) )

I get this error:

TypeError: () takes one positional argument but 2 were given

Is CQGI not yet fully implemented in CadQuery Editor, or I missed something?

@adam-urbanczyk can say for sure, but it may be related to this issue.

Essentially the options for show_object, and I assume debug, haven't been implemented yet. Just drop the options from the debug call and the error should go away (it did for me).

Ok, no problem.

I though that debug was used to color some parts of an object in order to understand what we are selecting. What the point of debug() without any argument, then?

I think the CQGI implementation is just lagging a little after the transition to CQ 2.0. I haven't seen many people use the debug functionality, even though it can be pretty useful. That may be why this hasn't been brought up yet.

In CadQuery's FreeCAD workbench (CQ 1.0) I rendered debug objects in red with some transparency by default, so the option wasn't used much. I'm not sure if @adam-urbanczyk has something like that planned for CQ-editor or not.

@roipoussiere CQ-editor does not implement the CQGI interface. Currently debug just displays the argument in the application log.

BTW: there is a dedicated graphical stack inspector in CQ-editor if you are interested in seeing what is on your stack.

After merging #127 it is possible to specify color like so

show_object(obj,name='a',options=dict(color='red'))

@adam-urbanczyk really nice! Documentation should be updated as well but I don't know why I'm not currently able to access to the wiki...
