in single threaded apps you can get away with leaving out some (probably
most) of them, *but* some are quite important as the endEditCP call also
calls the FieldContainer::changed virtual function which makes sure that
values derived from modified fields are updated. Perhaps most
importantly it invalidates bounding volumes when for example the graph
changes.
We therefore highly recommend to cleanly bracket all changes (or switch
to 2.x which does away with the beginEdit/endEdit stuff [1]) ;)
regards,
Carsten
[1] it still needs to be told when derived data can/should be updated -
you call the global commitChanges function for that - so endEditCP is
still there in disguise, but it need not be called as often.
