Description
This command is used to debug and to identify mistakes in command files. It outputs user-defined debug messages to impetus.info, together with current repeat loop variables, INCLUDE offsets and coordinate transformation parameters. A debug message is limited to 80 characters.
The coordinate transformation is presented in the format:
$\displaystyle{ \bar{\mathbf x} = {\mathbf A} {\mathbf x} + {\mathbf x}_0}$
where ${\mathbf x}$ is the original coordinate, $\bar{\mathbf x}$ is the transformed coordinate, ${\mathbf A}$ is a rotation/scaling matrix and ${\mathbf x}_0$ represents a translation. ${\mathbf A}$ and ${\mathbf x}_0$ can be the result of multiple layers of INCLUDE with different translations, scalings ans rotations.
Example
User-defined debug information
A number of cubes are generated with COMPONENT_BOX and with the ~repeat command. There is maximum allowed coordinate $x0=1.8$. A debug command is added to warn if this limit is exceeded.
A debug section is added to the impetus.info file. In this specific case, with the information:
