Docked 3d view is very slow/only seems to refresh on focus #1253

Closed Wallby closed 2 years ago

Wallby commented 2 years ago

Pronterface version 2.0.0rc7 on LMDE 5 (based on Debian Bullseye).

Nor "use a lighter visualization" nor setting main visualization to 2D/3D affects the framerate of the docked view. However.. double clicking to open the "gcode viewer window" works fine (usable fps not noticibly slow in any way). Is the fps for the main window capped or something?

I.e. if minimizing pronterface then selecting pronterface the view refreshes once.

Try hiding the jog controls (left pane), so that 3d view is left and log pane right. Does the 3d view refresh?

Wallby commented 2 years ago

@volconst jep that works. What also works is hiding the "command pane" (the rightmost pane) or reducing the size of the command pane. Making the command pane bigger again reintroduces the issue. If the jog controls are collapsed then the size of the command pane doesn't ever cause the issue to happen.

@Wallby this is a bug in wxwidgets library There is a pull request to require a newer version of wxwidgets, which is not yet committed. https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/pull/1171#issuecomment-1068382131 To confirm, can you send this as a gcode command, no need to connect to printer, and post the printed version

!import wx; print(wx.__version__)

You can check the conversation and tell whether you think it is the same problem.

@volconst Yes that outputs 4.0.7 for me too. Sounds likely to be the same issue.

volconst commented 2 years ago

@Wallby , the fix is to upgrade to wxpython>=4.1

pip3 install -U 'wxpython>=4.1'

For this to succeed you have to install various linux development packages. What is the exact list of dependencies I do not know. See https://www.wxpython.org/blog/2017-08-17-builds-for-linux-with-pip/index.html
