UPDATE... Controlling the View Updating Frequency
UPDATE... Controlling the View Updating Frequency
PRIMER has an setting which dictates how often the view is updated following commands that change it. The figure shows the panel and its three settings. These have the following meanings: |  |
= 1 No updates
The plot is never updated automatically. Changes only become apparent when you issue an explicit drawing command, eg , etc.
= 2 Medium updates
The plot is updated immediately when any view control command is given.
The current image is amended as necessary following blanking, clipping, etc
if any viewing command, including dynamic viewing, is used. In other words a
viewing change command is tantamount to an explicit redraw command in the current
mode which would, of course, reflect any changes in the model geometry.
= 3 Frequent updates
The plot is updated immediately as at level 2 above, but also following any
blanking, clipping, etc, command that would change the image if explicitly redrawn.
Therefore the effects of blanking, etc are seen immediately.
| Note 1 | The default setting is 2 on a windows device. |
| Note 2 |
Level 3 is only recommended if you have a very fast display
and/or a small model
since it requires frequent redraws. |
| Note 3 | Users with slow devices and/or with large models may find that level 1 is preferable to decrease redrawing effort. |
