开发可视化应用程序不是一件容易的事，而且会带来特殊的挑战。这是因为典型的可视化软件处理大量数据，从而产生大型数据结构，有时甚至非常复杂。传统的调试工具用处有限，因为它们将报告的信息与发生意外问题的时空域分离。我们提出了一套专门针对调试可视化软件的指导原则。这些指导方针的灵感来自于开发工业和研究应用程序的经验。通篇都给出了应用这些准则的具体例子。总的来说，关键是利用计算机图形和可视化本身的优势，并结合一些更知名的良好实践。
Developing visualization applications is non-trivial and poses special challenges. This is due to the fact that typical visualization software processes a large amount of data resulting in large and sometimes very complex data structures. Traditional tools for debugging are of limited use because they de-couple the information they report from the spatio-temporal domain in which unexpected problems occur. We present a set of guidelines targeted specifically at debugging visualization software. The guidelines are inspired by experience in developing applications in both industry and research. Specific examples where the guidelines are applied are given throughout. In general, the key is to exploit the strengths of computer graphics and visualization itself in combination with some more well–known good practices.
