SPDisplayObject.border

Can just be moved up from SPTextField to the basic display object?
Can be quite useful knowing the cirumference of a image / sprite sometimes.

Thanks for the suggestion, that might be interesting for a debug mode, you're right.
In the meantime, a simple way to fake it is to add transparent SPQuad objects (e.g. with an opacity of 0.1) with the same dimensions behind the object.

Or fill your texture atlas with a background color while developing. 😉

True! The SPQuad thing is a great idea! 😃

Never liked the background color thing though personally, as it's oftenmost specific SPSprites / SPImages I want to debug, not entire atlases. ^^

Tossed together a macro for this today for anyone interested 😛

#ifdef DEBUG
#define ADD_DEBUG_QUAD(child, container)\
[container addChild:[SPQuad quadWithWidth:child.width height:child.height]];\
[container childAtIndex:[container numChildren]-1].x = child.x;\
[container childAtIndex:[container numChildren]-1].y = child.y;\
[container childAtIndex:[container numChildren]-1].alpha = 0.5f;
#define ADD_DEBUG_QUAD_TO_SELF(child) ADD_DEBUG_QUAD(child, self)
#else
#define ADD_DEBUG_QUAD(child, container) do {} while (0);
#define ADD_DEBUG_QUAD_TO_SELF(child) do {} while (0);
#endif

Great idea, thanks for sharing! 🙂
