Ahhhh - it's all becoming clear now ...
Now I understand why it has been referred to as a LIFO type of queue
- because element 0 in the output structure is the oldest member of
the queue.
However - as Adrian points out - this is not a LIFO - which would be
akin to a stack. In a LIFO arrangement, the contents of the queue is
left intact after adding one element and removing one. (i.e. a push
and a pop)
So - here is how I would describe this patch.
"This patch implements a FIFO of arbitrary size n, where the output
is a structure containing n elements. Element 0 is the oldest, and
element n-1 is the element that was most recently added.
Perhaps you can put that one on your WIKI page, Sam.
Here's a modified version of shadebobs using an iterator to display
all elements of the queue. The length of the tail is dependent on
frame rate - looks better at 20 fps than 60, imo.
Maybe we can figure out a way to make this independent of frame
rate(?)
Thanks all
Jack

Could you post your version with the queue? I've been wondering how
that patch would be used.
I haven't even tried using the queue patch because the description
made it sound useless. It's nice to know that it's a FIFO after all.
Sure, no problem. Just use the structure index member the take the
first entry in the structure output from the queue.
