Hi all,
so I am impatient and I could not wait for Alex’s solution to my question of yesterday. I hacked something together that works most of the time, and now I have my scatterplot that updates itself quite quickly ! :- ) I give the core of the code below, and then report on a problem :-(
I have a builder instance variable, and an open and a refresh method. Open opens the first time, and refresh refreshes the view. (I call buildDataset, which builds the right dataset for the graph, that’s not relevant here).
open builder := RTGrapher new. builder add: self buildDataset. builder build open
refresh | view | view := builder view. view cleanAll. builder := RTGrapher new. builder view: view. builder add: self buildDataset. builder build view signalUpdate.
And if you want this animated, just make an infinite loop that calls refresh (with a delay in-between to not hog the CPU).
autorefresh self open. [[true] whileTrue: [self refresh. (Delay forMilliseconds: 100) wait]] fork
Et voila! C’est cool quoi! (Yes, I’m in France right now :-) )
There is sadly one problem: sometimes I get the red morph of death in the window :-( AthensCairoCanvas>>setShape: sends asAthensShapeOn: to nil. It’s not immediate, but after some time (variable) I always get it :-(. Any pointers on what it may be and how to fix it??

If you bring up halos on the broken morph there should be an option to debug it. cheers -ben

Calling "builder build" (in your refresh method) will reset all "path" objects, so it may happen that you reset the path objects while in the ui thread, they are used to draw the shapes.

Hi Nicolas,
thanks for the information! I don’t know anything about path objects, so I won’t have a quick fix, but now I know better where to look, hopefully I can find some time, because I still think this way of doing things is interesting.

Hi Johan,
Indeed, your approach is technically the less optimal :-) Destroying and rebuilding the whole World at each bit change :-)
Try the RTDynamicGrapher class we have just made. It should work.

I did, see previous mail … ;-)
But I think my hack still has some merits: it is kind of generic so I guess (hope) that it can be used with any kind of builder. In that case we can do live updating with all other kinds of graphs for free.
Thinking about it, adding live updating can be simple! If we assume that we know what the min & max values of data will be, the only support this way of working needs is a way to remove all data points from the graph, and draw new data points. If a builder has these 2 extra methods (+ methods that fix the values for the axes), it should be composable with the live update logic out of the box. Right?
