Hi all
I would like some GUI elements in a patch to refresh with the highest rate possible, but at the same time also as economic (in terms of CPU usage) as possible.
How can I know at which rate a Pd canvas is updated so that I can adjust the gui update accordingly?
Matju directed me to the respective parts in the source code, but I was not able to make any sense out of it.
I've come so far yet: In src/m_sched there is 'void sched_tick' which (afaict) runs the 'while' loop that runs the whole Pd DSP and GUI stuff. It seems that every 5000 clock ticks, the whole GUI is refreshed (sys_pollgui()). But how long is such a tick? Can someone make more sense out of it?
