Embarcadero Sample Debugger Visualizers

[dummzeuch 1613]

There is a package installed in the IDE called "Embarcadero Sample Debugger Visualizers" (package name is: samplevisualizers). Given it's called a sample, I would have expected that the source code is also available, but I can't find it, neither in my Delphi installation(s) nor on Embarcadero's Gitub Sample repository. Any hints?

May be is related to this https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Visualizers but I don't think that there are the source code available.

 

There is a ToolsApi about that: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Athens/en/Debugger_Visualizers

There is source in the Visualizers folder:

 

Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\source\Visualizers

 

It doesn't include the .dpk though.

Thanks a lot. That the samplevisualizers.dpk is missing also explains why my search didn't turn up anything.

(Just in case anybody else is looking: It's inside the Delphi installation directory, not in Public Documents.)

I had already found these but the description was not really helpful in creating one. For me nothing beats a good example when trying to understand some API.

 

There is also an example of a TColor debug visializer by Linas Naginionis on Medium with a link to source code that no longer works.

and possibly the same code on GitHub.

 

And I just stumbled upon something called GenericVisualizer by Alessandro Fragnani, also on GitHub.
