Hi!

Making things scalable is indeed a pain for the user. Currently, using RTCache remove all the interactions from the elements. This means we cannot have this cache all the time. At least for now. Also, it may create oddities with labels.

You have a large data set to render, which is not the case of everyone. 
Is the current solution acceptable for now?

Cheers,
Alexandre

Thanks Alex,

adding the RTCache line to the script helps preventing the unresponsiveness in the most recent Moose image.

It's only that this feels more like a workaround since this is not remotely obvious for a beginner like me :-)
Would it be possible to let the preview tab in the inspector do something like this by default?
Then it would work out of the box.

Thanks again,
Manfred

Hi Manfred,

I think have fixed your problem.

Consider this script:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
cpuFile := '/Users/alexandrebergel/Downloads/cpu.trace' asFileReference.
cpuReader := NeoCSVReader on: (cpuFile readStream).
cpuReader separator: $|.
cpuHeader := cpuReader readHeader.
cpuData := cpuReader upToEnd.

g := RTGrapher new.
g extent: 300@200.

ds := RTDataSet new.
ds points: (cpuData collect: [ :each |
    | timestamp cpuUsage |
    timestamp := (each at: 1) asNumber.
    cpuUsage := (each at: 4) asNumber.
    Array braceWith: timestamp with: cpuUsage]).
ds x: #first.
ds y: #second.
ds connectColor: Color blue.

g add: ds.
g addDecorator: RTHorizontalTickLineDecorator new.
g addDecorator: RTVerticalTickLineDecorator new.
g build.


RTCache new cacheView: g view.
g view.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The magic line here is "RTCache new cacheView: g view.”
I will describe this in another thread.

Cheers,
Alexandre
