Re: measuring time to render in javafx

[Benjamin Gudehus]

Hi Selim,

there was a presentation a while back about PerformanceTracker and the
anatomy of pulses:

   - Oleg Mazurov: “Optimizing JavaFX Applications”
   - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw8se4uA1qc

You can activate the pulse logging using Java start parameters.

If you want something more sophisticated like an render indicator in your
GUI you probably need to access private fields/methods in the classes
responsible for the pulse.

Here is a brief overview of the call hierarchy for
PerformanceTracker.pulse():

   - PerformanceTracker#pulse()
  - Scene#pulse()
  - Toolkit#runPulse()
  - Toolkit#firePulse()
  - QuantumToolkit#pulse()

 And for frameRenderered():

   - PerformanceTracker#frameRendered()
  - Scene.ScenePeerPaintListener#frameRendered()
  - GlassScene#frameRendered()
  - PaintCollector#done(RenderJob)
  - RenderJob#run()
  - QuantumToolkit#addRenderJob()
 - QuantumToolkit#renderToImage(ImageRenderingContext)
  - ViewScene#repaint()
  - PaintCollector#renderAll()
  - QuantumToolkit#pulse()

 And a rough list of start parameters:

   - -Dquantum.pulse=true
   - -Dquantum.debug=trre
   - -Dquantum.verbose=true
   - -Dprism.order=d3d
   - -Dprism.order=sw
   - -Djavafx.pulseLogger=true

(If we had something like the developer tools in modern browsers in JavaFX
10, this would be amazing)

measuring time to render in javafx

[Selim Dincer]

Hey,

I am looking for a way to measure how long it takes for JavaFX to render
something graphically. Say I change the text of a label, then this will
schedule a new pulse. How can I now actually get feedback when the
rendering is done?
In swing I guess I could override the paint or paintComponent methods. In
JavaFX I found a hacky way in which I supply a Canvas with my own
implementation of NGCanvas and then override the impl_createPeer() method
to return my implementation.
However this is surely not the way to go and it will break in 9 :-)

What would be the preferred way of doing this in JavaFX?
