Does paintFigure method get called all the time? [message #224078]

Hello everybody,

I have a question on the protected void paintFigure(Graphics graphics)
method.

I have a GEF project where i draw many diagrams on the gef editor.

I observed that paintFigure method is called all the time when the
diagrams are displayed and whether you make a mouse move or not. Due to
this, the "CPU usage" goes to 100%.

Is this the expected behaviour of paintFigure method or am i doing
something wrong in the project?

If its the expected behaviour, is there a way to avoid this?

Thanks,
Best Regards
Shruthi

It's probably because you're doing something in your paintFigure() method
that's forcing a repaint.

Hello Mr.Pratik Shah,

Thanks a lot. Your input was of great help to me.

I have solved the issue. Actually i was calling repaint inside the
paintFigure method in few places.

Thanks again,
Best Regards
Shruthi
