FAQ

Welcome to the FAQ page! In here, you can ask whatever burning question you have in regards to the library.

Q: A test keeps crashing with the error "the font file could not be opened and read "! What do I do?

A: Are you in the bin folder of the tsgl folder? Some tests won't work unless you are in the bin folder. Specifically:

testBlurImage, testCalcPi, testCosineIntegral, testGetPixels, testGreyscale, testImage, testImageCart, testInverter, testMandelbrot, testPhilosophers, testProgressBar, testSpectrogram, testText, testTextCart, testTextTwo, testUnits

If the test that keeps crashing is in the list above, go into the bin folder and execute it from there.

Q: What is the maximum number of threads I can use in Windows?

A: You can only have up to 64 threads at a time in Windows.

Q: Why won't my tsgl Solution build in Windows?

A: Have you built the tsgl project first? You must build that first in order to create the lib file for TSGL. Then, you can build the entire Solution.

Q: Does TSGL have Debug messages in case things break?

A: In fact it does. Check out the Error.h file and you will see a commented out line:

//#define TSGL_DEBUG

Uncommenting out this line will turn on Debug messages for the TSGL library in case things break (font not loading, image not found, etc...).
