Showing The Complete Debug Views, Using CML:
Activating The Gesture Analytics Display, Part 2
Every touch object rendered on stage has the "built-in" ability to
independently display the touch point clusters it possesses as well as
detailed informatics on cluster geometry and motion. To turn on the GAD
display, in the "my_application.cml" document set the attribute "displayOn" equal to true. For example:
<DebugKit displayOn="true" displayAlwaysOn="false">
This will globally activate the debug display of all touch objects
rendered on stage. When the GAD is activated it is always rendered on
the topmost layer of the application display hierarchy. This is done to
ensure that, when in debug mode, touch points and touch/gesture data is
always visible and not obscured by media or menus.
First, we need to activate the "drawing" of touch points on stage and also activate the "point_shapes" debug layer. For example:
<DebugKit displayOn="true" displayAlwaysOn="false">
<DebugLayer type = "point_shapes" displayOn="true"/>
</DebugKit>
The color of the touch points can be set by assigning a "Hex" color code. For Example:
<DebugLayer type = "point_shapes" displayOn="true" stroke_color="0xFF00FF"/>
The "alpha" or transparency can be set as follows:
<DebugLayer type = "point_shapes" displayOn="true" stroke_alpha="0.9"/>
In addition the radius and stroke thickness can be customized by
setting the "radius" and "stroke_thickness" attributes. For Example:
<DebugLayer type = "point_shapes" displayOn="true" radius = "12" stroke_thickness = "6"/>
This single debug display layer is recommended when there is a need
to deploy a multitouch application with an "always on" touch data mode.
