Hello,

I noticed there are some debug information in Remoting/Views/vtkIceTComposite.cxx such as `vtkOpenGLRenderUtilities::MarkDebugEvent("vtkIceTCompositePass: icetDrawFrame Start")`

How could I show these information when I use the Paraview (such as Catalyst off screen render)? or are there other specific parameters to control this?

Thanks!

I believe there are two ways.

1. Simple is to look at Tools/ Timer Log.
2. Although I have not used it yet, you can use advanced logging. Description is here: [https://blog.kitware.com/paraviews-advanced-logging-user-interface/](https://blog.kitware.com/paraviews-advanced-logging-user-interface/).

Note that this is timing infornation, not debugging information. For debugging, either put prints in the code, or run ParaView with a debugger.
