Hi! I'm making a program that has only a widget that's a GtkDrawingArea. In that widget I draw my own objects.
Well, I want it to be refreshed as fast to produce some smooth efect in the objects that are moving inside. For drawing the objects inside i've put a expose callback function. And, until yesterday, I was using a timeout callback to queue a draw event. Timeout set to 30 ms. It was very cpu consuming. So I changed it, to queue draw events on a idle callback, if an update flag is set, and I set that flag from a timeout callback. Why? Because the idle loop was executed too many times, so I have this restricted to a timeout.. Well, at this point, the problem is that it keeps using too much cpu! :-) so, i don't know what should I do. I've seen that there are some gtk's idle_add_priority function, but I don't have that one in python-gtk2 2.0.0-1, debian's module. And also I'm not sure if using that is the right way to do the things. Maybe this question is more gtk-related than pygtk. Well, anyway, I think that with idle&timeout implementation that I did, the cpu wasting I have is constant when I draw more objects on the DrawableArea.. Well, that's all, thanks in advance! alejandro -- + There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark. _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
