[GRASS5] Re: Interupted Nviz display

[Bob Covill]

Justin,

You are right, NVZI does stack the draw commands. That was one of my concerns
when I added the auto-draw features. The Nset_cancel command will cancel a draw
in progress, but it will only cancel one draw request at a time. With the
auto-draw features, I bound this command to the canvas widgets (position and
light position). If you change position during the middle of a re-draw it is
cancelled. This could also be bound to the scale and entry widgets as well. The
only problem is, if more than one item is being drawn it will only cancel the
first re-draw.

Maybe a better solution, that I have not looked at yet is to have the cancel
routine built right in to the actual draw commands. In other words calling the
draw command (surface, vector, etc) will cancel an existing draw cammand.
