Hello Ed,
Sorry, you didn't send an example to reproduce your troubles so I have
to ask you some extra questions:
1. What kind of timer do you use: synch or asynch ?
2. Did you see this problem before (with the previous version of
ROOT) ?
3. Can you work out a small macro / code to reproduce the problem ?
4. Do you use "ROOT + macro"; "Root + your custom DLL"; your
ROOT-based application alone ?
Thank you
Valeri

Subject: [ROOT] Performance question: Updating a colz histogram
Hello,
I have an online application which includes a 500x500 bin TH2F which I
display in response to a timer with
p2DH->Draw("colz");
gPad->GetCanvas()->Update();
(I've previously called gStyle->SetPalette(1,0)) Early on, when the
histogram is still young, the refresh is pretty quick - refreshing at 2
Hz
uses a small amount (<10%) of the cpu time. Gradually, as the histogram
fills, the refresh time increases - by the time the histogram has a few
hundred thousand entries, (maximum bin contents is in the 10s) the cpu
time
is 80% and climing.
Is there something I could do to speed things up, short of adjusting the
refresh rate? I am using version 3.03/08 on Win32. Thanks...
Ed Oltman
