We have a mulit-channel application, where different channels update at
different rates. Since we set the frame update rate to that of the fastest
channel, we would like to have the slower channels render the same scene for
several frames.
We were hoping to make use of display lists to capture the draw commands of 1
frame, and then draw this display list in the following frames. I've tried
(unsucessfully) to implement it as follows: (I've just added this callback to
simple.C)
myDrawCallbackFunc(pfChannel *chan, void *) {
static int c = 1;
static pfDispList dl(PFDL_FLAT, 0);
if (c) {
dl.open();
pfDraw();
dl.close();
c = 0;
}
chan->clear();
dl.draw();
}
The scene is still upated every frame, so I guess this display list is updated.
Can someone tell me what exactly would be in this display list - are there
pointers to something that is updated by pfCull? And is there a way to make
this work? Basically, we need a very low cost way of rendering the same scene
on 1 channel for several frames.
Thanks!
