Hi, I tested it on Linux with WMTS and Postgis layers. It worked fine for it. I would like to test it on Windows as well, but I can't compile it on Windows if it would be in master, I could test the nightlies. Performancewise it worked fine on Linux. I am not so sure, if it should be

Hi Martin, Sounds interesting. Of course this is not urgent. We now need to concentrate on all the stuff that requires refactoring and API changes in the master branch. But it would really be nice, if such rendering improvements could be introduced in a future 3.x version. Maybe something for

Hi Martin, I noticed that loading and redraw only happens when the mouse button is released after the panning operation. While I understand the reasoning for this (definitely on the safe side and no unnecessary redraws), I wonder, if for WMTS, loading and display could already happen while

>> QGIS seems to need to draw the entire background in it's head, then displays it all at once Yes, this is a problem (it seems) with all of the the Raster rendering. With a GeoTiff during Panning, the Background blanks out and pops back, while the Vectors don't. Hard on the eyes when searching

Hey John, QGIS has had multithreaded rendering since 2.0 which allows the map to be rendered as you pan around so you don't have to wait. You can also set the refresh rate in order to draw more features so you get feedback quicker. Regards, Nathan On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 2:32 AM, John Abraham

[QGIS-Developer] Incremental drawing possible?

2017-07-10 Thread John Abraham
Is incremental drawing possible, especially for web features in the background? I've been playing with some GPU based visualizers lately (in particular CityPhi from INRO https://www.inrosoftware.com/en/products/cityphi/ ) and switching back to
