Debug Tooling

Sometimes it is hard to know why your UI is behaving unexpectedly. To help you with debugging, Lunex offers additional tooling that should make your life a little bit easier.

To enable it, you have to add UiLunexDebugPlugin::<R_2D, R_3D> to your application. The generics are constants used for RenderLayers inside the debug plugin.

• R_2D: Specifies which render layer should 2D gizmos use.
• R_3D: Specifies which render layer should 3D gizmos use.

If you don't use RenderLayers for any other purpose, then you can add the plugin with these values:

UiLunexDebugPlugin::<1, 2>

This also means that you have to add a properly configured RenderLayers component to your cameras if you want to see these outlines.

• For Camera2d:

  RenderLayers::from_layers(&[0, 1])

• For Camera3d:

  RenderLayers::from_layers(&[0, 2])

This will draw gizmo outlines around all UI nodes, allowing you to see their positions and sizes.

Additionally, it will print the layouts to the terminal whenever a change is detected.
