Compiler Messages tool window

The Compiler Messages tool window collects warning and errors generated by the compiler when you 

select or reload a formula. These messages are intended for formula authors. If you encounter errors 

in a formula that you did not write yourself, it is best to contact the author of the formula.

To open the Compiler Messages tool window if it is hidden, click Tool Windows on the Window menu, 

and then click Compiler Messages.

The tool window attaches itself to the most recently compiled formula. It also shows any run time 

messages generated by the attached formula when it is used for fractal calculations. Run time 

messages can be used for debugging purposes.

Double click a message to open the line of code that corresponds to the message in the formula 

editor, so you can inspect the code and correct the error. Click the Help on Error button to get help 

about the selected message.

For more information on a specific control, click the help button in the title bar of the tool window, 

and then click the control, or move the mouse over the control while the 

Fractal Mode

 tool window is 

open.
