Hi I was hoping someone here might help me understand this issue I'm having:

I'm running a multi-thread python script where one of the threads gets motion data from a camera system and another thread takes that information and updates the objects in the main worldviz window.

Sometimes, there is a short 500 millisecond block of the script execution and thus a 500 ms delay in updating the main window. Without spewing out a ton of details, I'll just say this 500 ms gap in the flow of data is unacceptable. I need to avoid similar delays.

The only known cause I have determined so far is that moving/re-sizing (by mouse drag) the main window onto a second monitor can cause it. I have come to understand that this might be Windows7 changing "modes" and blocking the python script until the window is finished moving/re-sizing. I have gotten around this issue by setting up a vizcore.cfg file that initializes the window the way I need it, thus avoiding the re-sizing problem.

However, I feel certain that there will be other events that can cause this type of block to happen. Can anyone help me understand how worldviz handles update commands? For example, if I call vizobject.setPosition(), is there some kind of response that my python script is waiting to receive from worldviz?

Any help or insight will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. I'm using Vizard 4, windows 7
