Users often encounter issues without clear error messages.\r\n\r\n## Steps to Reproduce\r\n1. Use Processing with a project that relies on the PGraphicsOpenGL renderer.\r\n2. Encounter an issue, such as rendering errors or crashes.\r\n3. Attempt to identify the cause of the issue, but the error messages are not informative.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## Possible Causes / Solutions\r\nThe following changes are proposed to enhance error handling in PGraphicsOpenGL:\r\n1. Implement thorough error checks at critical points in the PGraphicsOpenGL codebase.\r\n2. Provide descriptive error messages with information about the context and potential causes.\r\n3. Ensure that errors are logged appropriately for debugging purposes.\r\n\r\nThese changes will contribute to a more robust and reliable rendering system in Processing, especially for projects utilizing the PGraphicsOpenGL renderer.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Parvezkhan0","@type":"Person","name":"Parvezkhan0"},"datePublished":"2023-10-26T15:48:29.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/6265/processing/issues/6265"}
