[osg-users] The growing draw bar in the stats handler

Something else I noticed that I thought was strange was that the orange GPU bar has 8 short blocks all drawn in the first frame. I have included an image to show. What does this mean? When I look at a smaller model, the Orange block fills alll along the lower bar. On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 9:46

The short bars are probably the initial state of the bars that haven't been initialized yet. As for your single really long bar, this suggests that the GPU is stalled doing something for a very long time... It could possibly be a bug in the stats collection. The stats collection has been working

Hi Rick and Robert, I mentioned this problem few months ago. Happened on Windows XP and Vista. It seemed to dissapear with more recent NVidia drivers though (ver 169.xx and larger). I don't remember exactly but I think it was present only on dual monitors. Do you by any chance have dual view

Hi Rick, Now I do not have the growing Draw callback, but everything still shows the orange bar across the entire screen. I am getting 60 fps ok, so I don't get the bar. I am sure it is probably still a driver issue somewhere. I still also have these long orange bars and big spaces in my s
