Hi,
I wasn't aware of this Toolkit method when I wrote the mail you are
referring to. Can you or anybody
else explain what this method exactly does. It sounds indeed as if I
could solve some problems with
it although I am not sure yet and of course only if Jonathan does not
block it in the future :-)

I think it would be great to have in the public API. It looks like it would
allow you to spread large UI updates out over several pulses in a well-defined
way.

Hi,
I want to do some performance tuning of a JavaFX application of mine but before
I can start with that I have to learn a little bit about the scene graph redraw
handling.
Maybe there is someone on this list who can help me there.
What I want to achieve is a super smooth animation (movement) of my scene graph.
Let's assume the scene graph itself can be redrawn fast enough in less than
1/60s.
In addition let's assume the scene graph contains a canvas which only has to be
updated from
time to time but an update of the canvas takes substantially longer.
Let's say it takes 1s.
When an update of the canvas is in progress will this delay the next pulse
until all internal
drawing within the canvas is finished? From my observations I think so.
If I submit my drawing calls to the canvas in smaller chunks via
Platform.runLater calls will
these also delay the next pulse or will the execution of these calls be delayed
in favor of the
scene graph update?
I hope my goal has become clear. I would like to be able to spread the update
of the canvas over
several scene graph redraw cycles so that an animation of the canvas stays
smooth although the
content builds up more slowly.

Subject: Usage of Toolkit firePulse
Hi all,
Today I am keen to get your help on understanding use of the
Toolkit.getToolkit().firePulse() private API. If you could spare a few minutes
to grep your source directory for any usage of 'firePulse', and email me your
findings, that would be really interesting.
As a gentle motivational tool I'll conclude by saying that, surprisingly, this
private API is barely used inside the openjfx production code. If you look at
the openjfx unit tests, it is used massively. The question is - how much is
this being used by other community members. If the answer is 'not much' or
less, then this private API may not be made public in JDK 9. Your feedback
therefore is critical!
Thanks,
-- Jonathan
