Hi,
some time ago I discussed with some of you ways to display very "heavy" graphics in Rev at an acceptable speed.
Well - I failed. I think if I want to do it with Rev, I have to write some sort of plugin.
I tried:
- set the properties of the templateGraphic, so only the positions and lengths of the graphics had to be changed before actually drawing them
- lock messages and screen, of course
- draw 2000 objects
-> this alone took up to 14 seconds (PB 17" 1 GHz 2 GB), though I tried to save cycles
- then scrolling these objects takes 3 seconds :-(
As another option, I tried to "paint" the polygons. I had to stop that because even a few hundred polygons took forever.
For this application. I have now returned RB. Not that RB is sufficiently fast with this number of objects - but I can use very fast drawing routines there and only draw what's scrolled off the pane.
Exploiting Rev gave me many good ideas which I will now use in the RB project, especially for simplifying the own class tree. I simply decided to abandon the old library and to "revolutionize" it :-)
It would be great if one could write plugins to either tool with the other...
Cheers,
