This article series will give you some insight on the formats and libraries, and then shows how an abstraction layer could be build. This sixth part of the article finally covers additional tool classes which will proof helpful during image creation.

Evil bugs in your code
From time to time I write some code snippets, which I find really hard to debug, and the code does not do, what it is expected to do. Especially when the code is not tested directly, but only executed in some a bit more complex environment. Those are 4 typical errors I introduced in my code, and spend some time debugging it, because I found them really hard to spot. Luckily, once I spotted the actual bug, I find it a lot easier the next time the typo occurs. Therefore I want to share those, so that I may save you some minutes of your life hunting stupid bugs.
