You have to serialize the whole simulation before changing stuff. > Or is it possible to not nest, and just serialize the part of the tree > that is open? - it's not possible to "skip" serialization of some variables to speed it up. You provide something and all of its internals are serialized. - nothing is forcing you to serialize whole Scene. You can serialize anything you want. For example serialize only O.bodies[10], and you will see just that and nothing else. In fact from python it could be exposed as simply as >>> show(O.bodies[10]) or such. - it is also possible to build some kind of dictionary while the serialization takes place, to speed up later access. - yes: if you serialize whole Scene - you really have it duplicated in memory. There's no way around this. In fact O.saveTmp() could be saving into this kind of structure. And display it on the screen on demand. Realtime updates of values during calculation might require either serializing in a loop with some time delay. IIRC it is nost possible to use references to original values. A qt window showing all data of a currently selected body is something that will work nicely. Another qt window showing all engines. etc.etc. This will work. But, it is also to replace a FileGenerator and Display options, where we still have yade serialization - in those places there is no problem with serializing whole class. It will work just as good. The only thing to make it more comfortable are: - save/load_override for Vector3r, Quaternionr and bool (I'd love to have a checkbox for bool, I don't even know if qt4 allows checkboxes in qt_tree ;) - skip displaying some useless rows in a tree (e.g. pointer wrappers, they don't even have a name) BTW: all those boost_*.hpp files seem complex. But on the positive side they are using the standard boost::serialization interface for adding custom archive types. In fact 4 years have passed, and changes in there were really minimal and well documented. It will work in the future. best regards -- Janek Kozicki http://janek.kozicki.pl/ | _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
