timeout is too short #118

Closed jxy closed 4 years ago

jxy commented 4 years ago

Surface plot in a qt term always take longer on my computer, especially with larger sample/isosample. The setting for timeout is too optimistic in my opinion for something that throws error.

Perhaps just print out a warning every couple of seconds and keep reading until EOF?

Are you using Windows? Would you be able to share a MWE so I can try to reproduce the issue?

jxy commented 4 years ago

No. It's macOS with qt term. Simply doing surf(x, y, (x,y)->besselj0(y)*x^2, plotstyle="pm3d", gpcom=postcomm) takes a couple of seconds at the first launch. Subsequent runs still take about a second.

How many points are you plotting? Also: can you run the test described here and post the results (maybe in a gist if they're too long): https://discourse.julialang.org/t/standard-streams-much-slower-in-windows-than-in-linux/24924/3

It seems the initialization of the QT term takes a long time when there are lots of fonts available.

That would explain the issue. As a workaround, you may want to try the 'aqua' terminal which is native to MacOS.

I will add a command to allow the user to set the timeout. It'll be out in the next release.

Just to let you know that I'm also hitting this on my FreeBSD box with wxt term. It's just that the first plot takes a lot longer. Subsequent plots are fine.

@jxy I'll hurry with an update -- I've just been too busy lately.
