Hello,
when I draw an high number of points (more than 1000) my view gets very very slow when I rotate or pan. I draw the points one by one using this code:
gp_Pnt pnt(f_p[0], f_p[1], f_p[2]);
TopoDS_Vertex V1 = BRepBuilderAPI_MakeVertex(pnt);
// Create the AIS_Shape
Handle(AIS_Shape) point_shape = new AIS_Shape(V1);
// Set the vertex shape, color, and size
Handle_Prs3d_PointAspect myPointAspect = new Prs3d_PointAspect(Aspect_TOM_POINT, m_color, 1.2);
point_shape->Attributes()->SetPointAspect(myPointAspect);
my_context->Display(point_shape, FALSE);
is there a way to be able to draw thousands of points without the viewer getting freezed and very slow??
Thank you very much

Hello GIUSE,
There are two solutions I think of :
1) Make a TopoDS_Compound containing all your vertices(have a look at BRep_Builder::MakeCompound()) and then display that shape
2) Use AIS_PointCloud
The second solution may take less memory

Hello Hugues,
thank you very much for your suggestion.
I have the following problem: in my application, for debug purposes, I usually need to draw a point after another; for example, in the case of a loop which represents many points, I need to display a point at a time while going line after line of code in debug phase. So the points should appear one by one and not all at once. Is thee a way to update the point cloud with a new vertex and then redisplay?

If it's just for debugging purpose, you can try to keep somewhere eg the TopoDS_Compound object and each time you have a new vertex, then add it and call AIS_Shape::SetShape()
Maybe an additional call to AIS_Shape::Redisplay(true) will be needed.
Check if that's acceptable in term of speed ?
