Dear IDL gang,
Here's an observation and a question. I start with IDL code running on
a linux machine and I display some widgets on a remote screen using
xorg's X server (on a linux machine), Exceed or WinTerm X (on win32)
machines. I've noticed that when change the value of some
widget_buttons that were created with /dynamic_resize, it (and I'm not
quite sure what "it" is here) takes more or less time to redraw the
widgets, depending on what X server is being used. For the same code
running on the same machine, but displaying on two different machines,
chaning 5 button values takes 40-70 ms with xorg, and up to 350 ms with
Exceed.
That's the observation. Here's the question(s): what is going on
here? Is there a way to make IDL widget applications run simillarly
with different X servers? I've found myself behind the 8 ball as I've
been pushing an application and I'm being told it is too slow on some
desktops.
A related question, but off-topic: anybody want to recommend good X
server for windows machines?
Mike
