RE: [gtkextra] slow updates

["Dugas, Alan" <alan dugas analog com>]

Jose,

Thanks for your response!  I have been able to make some progress on this
issue.  It appears that the order of setting the axis ticks and the axis
range is important.  Initially I was setting the axis ticks and then the
axis range before painting and refreshing.  When I changed the order to set
the axis range first and then the tick marks, I got a significant
improvement in performance:-)

In addition to the above, I am running into a problem where the y-axis does
not always display a number next to all the major tick marks.  The problem
is always at the bottom of the axis where the x and y axis' meet.  This is
somewhat confusing since I set the axis range using:

gtk_plot_set_range(GTK_PLOT(active_plot), x_min, x_max, 0.0,
largest_bin_number);

Based on this function, I would expect the y-axis should always display a
number 0.0 up to largest_bin_number.  Any ideas?
