Environment Variables

The GFXprim library behavior may be changed by a couple of environment variables:

GP_THREADS

GP_THREADS overrides gp_nr_threads_set() settings. The value is the same as it would have been set by gp_nr_threads_set() which is described in the table below:

Table 1. GP_THREADS possible values
Value Description

0

Use auto-detection, algorithms runs in nCPU threads unless the image buffer is too small.

1

Use one thread only.

>=2

Use N threads unless the image buffer is too small.

GP_DEBUG

The GP_DEBUG environment variable may be used to set library debug level. See debug messages description for more information.

The variable and its value is used only once at the time first debug message is about to be printed.

The debug level is an integer number, the higher it is the more verbose messages are printed. Current the maximum used in GFXprim sources is 4, this may change in the future. Use GP_DEBUG=10 to enable all debug messages for sure.

The output is, by default, written to stderr and will look like:
