Hi J-S,
Just a comment / idéa from the sideline: Instead of just toggling stats
"off - on", the statshandler could toggle "off - bars - graphs". A
"NVPerfHUD" version would be great, but an extra toggle states should be
easier to implement (shouldn't it?)...
Just my 5 cents worth,
John

Hi Robert,
Putting the graph below the existing bar graph would help.
OK, I'll do it Monday morning and resubmit. I'd make it as wide as the
bar graph (= as wide as the main view), but what height would make
sense? Too small a height and small variations will not be visible, but
too big a height will take too much space... A default of maybe 100 or
200 pixels, would that sound about right?
It doesn't help that the available vertical space depends on the number
of cameras/views... So if you have lots of views, the new stats that
were added lately (number of each node type, vertices, etc.) will not be
visible. That's why I was trying to save vertical space by putting the
graph in the same space as the bar graph.
It would be cool to have something like NVPerfHUD, where each part of
the stats HUD they have is a window which you can drag around, minimize
(window shade style - the window collapses into just its title bar) or
close. That's kind of the ultimate in customizability, and when the
windows are not fixed, you worry less about screen space. Perhaps
osgWidget could be leveraged to implement something like this into the
StatsHandler, now that it's available out of the box in OSG? :-)
Longer term it'd be nice to have the control to decide where you want
the graphs (screen as well as position) and their size. Such as
generalization could support having Camera stats and View stats
overlaying the viewport they are associated with.
Definitely. Right now the StatsHandler is a really opaque class that
does everything in a hard-coded way, which is something I'd like to work
on sometime (as you may have seen in my other message to Roland).
Anyways, baby steps :-)
