Anyway, on windows it crashed many times (On WIndows I downloaded this: http://moosetechnology.org/res/download/moose_suite_6_0-win.zip)
The VM is not particularly stable even on linux when it comes to FreeType and Cairo. Considering crashes on Windows do not even produce crash dumps, I don't see the problems being fixed anytime soon (unless the fix for linux will also magically fix windows too).
I observed that windows crash moment was always some kind of animation (window transition animation of the Roassal exmaples browser or visualization animation like pan or zoom).
It crashes during cairo repaint, and it doesn't really matter what it was triggered by.
Question:
- Is there a way to disable Roassal visualization animations?
No, because it doesn't exist. (See the end.)
- is there a way to disable window component animation in the Roassal Example Browser? (When clicking on the dots and moving between examples list and the visualization example itself, for example)
I don't know what you mean. But if you think that it would prevent the crashes, then know it will not.
I wonder if it would make the windows run more stable.
No. That's VM / VM+plugins issue.
On Linux it is OK but also painfully slow (ok, old machines).
Some examples visualize a ton of data, so they are slow. (There are not many performance optimizations in Roassal.)
I prefer animationless repaint of the visualization canvas and window transitions.
There is nothing like "animationless" or "animationfull" repaint, just like video is just static images repainted in fast succession (e.g. 30 or 60 images per second). Repaint is a repaint. If it looks "animated", that's because there are many repaints occurring quickly. Peter
