Is it possible to debug an object property?
I've tried tu use:

#debug concat("ANGLE: ", camera.angle)

to output the angle property of a camera, but it doesn work.

Thanks in advance

povray SDL is not object oriented.  There are default values for all scene
objects that you may look up in the manual.  Other than that, it's up to you to
set up the values you want.

You can, however, use #debug with any variables that you have created to 
define object parameters.  For example:

#declare CAMERA_ANGLE = some calculations;
#debug concat("ANGLE: ", str(CAMERA_ANGLE, 3, 1)
camera {
   other camera stuff
   angle CAMERA_ANGLE
}

Hope this helps...

Hi, nelviant.

I'd like to point out that the solution presented in the previus post is
something you should make a mental note of because it's often the solution to
many different problems one may run into.

In an ideal world everone would defign macros with camera transformations so
they can do retrieve camera properties easily. In reality no-one does this even
if they know better than not to (including myself). So start getting the habit
while you still can.
