Poor performance when drawing a Polyline in an Eclipse View [message #714806]

I'm using GEF's Polyline figure to display an audio waveform in one of my Eclipse RCP application's view. I'm using a ScrollingGraphicalViewer and a ScalableFreeformRootEditPart as the root edit part. When the polyline has about 1 million points, the initial drawing and all repainting of the figure from there on, specially those caused by scrolling, get really slow. The polyline contains 1 million+ points but only about one thousand of them are displayed at a time.

I tried adding a ClippingStrategy to the parent of the Polyline, to explicitly clip the polyline to the section made visible by its parent FreeformViewport object. This approach didn't improve the drawing performance even when setting antialias to SWT.OFF on the Polyline object.

Do you or anyone in this forum have any suggestions for me? Could you please share how to efficiently display signals in an RCP application?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi Joel,

Add more memory and see what happens. Otherwise, try the gef group.

Wim

Wim, Thanks for your response. I tried adding more memory and that didn't fix it. Could you please elaborate on your "GEF group" suggestion?

Thanks!
