### Use the Item Picker!
### Item Picker
The Item Picker will allow you to pick an item with the mouse and have Dear ImGui break within the call-stack of that item. This is useful if you have large UI / codebase and you would to easily find out where some UI item is emitted.
You can find it in _Metrics>Tools>Item Picker_. Also see [#2673](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2673).

### Visual debugging
You can use ImDrawList primitives on the foreground drawlist, e.g. `GetForegroundDrawList()->AddRectFilled(...)` to bypass clipping of the current window. Whenever you are working with coordinates, consider displaying it on screen using `AddRect()`, `AddCircle()`, etc.

### Using Begin/BeginChild
- You can omit `Begin()`/`End()`, widgets will be created into an implicit "Debug" window.
- You can call `Begin()` multiple times to append to a same window from different place.
- Use `Begin()`/`BeginChild()` to put yourself back into the context of another window (see [#270](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/270)
An interesting trick that isn't obvious is that you can use Begin() just to put yourself into the context of that window. So here I want to react to the user inputting an address to scroll to, I use BeginChild() again on the child that I've already drawn so I can use SetScrollFromPosY() on it.
- Similarly, functions like `BeginMenuBar()` or `BeginTabBar()` allow appending into a menu or tab-bar.
