The**Framebuffer** pane shows the contents of the currently-bound framebuffer. Depending on the item you select in the**Commands** pane, the**Framebuffer**pane can show onscreen or offscreen framebuffers.

When you select a command in the**Commands** pane, the**Framebuffer**pane displays the contents of the framebuffer after that call finishes. If you select a command group, it displays the framebuffer that best represents the group. Typically, this is the framebuffer after the last call in the group finishes.

Start by selecting the first call within a frame, then click each successive call to watch the framebuffer components draw one-by-one until the end of the frame. These framebuffer displays, for both onscreen and offscreen graphics, help you to locate the source of any rendering errors.

Move the cursor over the image to display a zoomed-in preview of the surrounding pixels in the bottom-left hand corner of the view as in the image above. The pane also shows the image width and height as well as the*x* and*y*coordinates, normalized image coordinates (U and V values), and RBGA hex value for that point on the image.

## Select different attachments

A framebuffer can contain multiple attachments. You can select which attachment to display and click**Show Attachments** or**Hide Attachments**as needed. Attachment thumbnails are labeled with the type of the attachment (for example, COLOR, DEPTH, and INPUT) as well as its index.

Once you select an attachment, the main view displays in the upper left corner.

## Operations

You can perform operations on the framebuffer image using the following buttons:

|                                                            Button                                                             |                                                                        Description                                                                         |                                          Example Result                                           |
