## Dumping DrawingLayer Primitives as XML
For debugging purposes, it is possible to dump the drawinglayer primitives as
as an xml file. The drawinglayer xml dump can show possible problems with the
rendering.
For example, in `emfio/qa/cppunit/emf/EmfImportTest.cxx`, one can write:
Primitive2DSequence aSequence = parseEmf(u"emfio/qa/cppunit/wmf/data/stockobject.emf");
drawinglayer::Primitive2dXmlDump dumper;
Primitive2DContainer aContainer(aSequence);
dumper.dump(aContainer, "/tmp/drawyinglayer.xml");
Then, after invoking `make CppunitTest_emfio_emf`, `/tmp/drawyinglayer.xml` will
be the dump of the drawinglayer primitives used to draw the emf file in
LibreOffice. The top level tag will be <primitive2D>.
