Re: [Visualpython-users] nested frames, cpu times

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

That's odd. I ran lathe.py from the VPython demo suite and observed CPU=20
usage, which was less than 1% on a 2.6 GHz Windows XP machine. Note that=20
lathe.py makes a display and then ends. Even running stonehenge.py,=20
which has a continuous animation and looks for user mouse inputs, runs=20
at less that 1%. There is a rendering thread which many times per second=20
renders the scene, and it isn't "smart" -- it doesn't do any=20
optimization but every time clears some memory to black and repaints the=20
whole scene. But this is a fast process.

Yes, you can nest frames within frames.
