3.25 Program Output
Due to its “in development” nature (at the moment),
Coot produces a lot of “console” 1 output - much of it debugging or
“informational”. This will go away in due course. You are advised
to run Coot so that you can see the console and the graphics window at
the same time, since feedback from atom clicking (for example) is
often written there rather than displayed in the graphics window.
- Output that starts “ERROR...” is a programming problem (and
ideally, you should never see it).
- Output that starts “WARNING...” means that something probably
unintended happened due to the unexpected nature of your input or
file(s).
- Output that starts “DEBUG...” has (obviously enough) been
added to aid debugging. Most of them should have been cleaned up
before release, but as Coot is constantly being developed, a few may
slip through. Just ignore them.
