OK: Stop button is officially on the TODO list.

A backwards redraw would be nice, but I don't see an
easy way to handle it in the code.  The LDAO modeler
can be useful here: you can set it up to only draw
lines that are highlighted in the editor, or specify a line
in the model from which to start drawing.

There are, I'm sure, technical difficulties involved in this, but it would be
soooo nice if implemented well.  Basically, I see this reversing the order of the
DAT file in memory before rendering... That way, if one is working on the
positioning of a single piece that relates to one or two pieces under it (usually
the case) one doesn't have to wait for the whole model to redraw before knowing if
the alignment is correct... The last piece in the dat file (usually the current
one) is rendered first, with the most recently placed pieces next, and so on.

If this were a toggle ("Redraw Order") that could be triggered with a keystroke,
it would make modeling large, complex models much more efficient.  As Fast as
LDLite is, it is still very aggrivating to wait for a 200+ piece model to refresh
just to position one piece.

(...) Great! I just ran into another problem. The "Continuous" checkbox in the Options does not work. I wanted to view Karim's AT-AT and have it auto-rotate, but quickly found that the continuous feature wouldn't work. -- Terry K -- (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You could draw using the normal algorithms, right? You'd just have to step through the main file backwards, one line at a time. BTW, great idea, Karim! --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com ---...---oooo-----(_...o---...--- WWW: (URL) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
