Gordon,
Beware that even i surprise myself with newby tricks.
I just posted a "slow" fractal moire maker. It creates beautiful patterns
and the detail is amazing but it does so creating some 40000 graphics in a
card. For the truely beautiful patterns, it took 300000 graphics! The making
can still be optimized but deleting images cannot be done like words in a
field! Delete graphic 1 to -1 or delete all graphics doesn't work.
i have the patience to create these graphics and see them rendered. But when
it comes to getting rid of them, no way! And the clearGraphics routine took
foreever! 200 graphics per second... You do the math - many minutes wasted
waiting to create a better pattern.
The trick was to create all the graphics in a group.
when the graphic is done, delete the group.
300000 graphics deleted in 2 seconds.
And as Geoff Canyon discovered, you can go one step further by drawing
all polygons as a single object, but just including a blank line in the
points property wherever you want a discontiguous object.
